The other week I shot a child who had Dravet’s Syndrome. Dravet’s is a rare type of epilepsy, only 6 people in Georgia have it. When Ryan was really young one of his seizures left him autistic among some other developmental problems. According to the story, he has about 40 seizures a month and was recently approved by the Make-A-Wish Foundation to recieve a dog that would alert his parents when he has a seizure.
