Patient Community Stories
The patient community knows first-hand what it means to go on a “diagnostic journey,” coordinate care teams, manage numerous medications, make multiple trips to the emergency room, seek hope in clinical studies and navigate the world while also living with or caring for someone with a pediatric central nervous system disorder.
Meet some of the extraordinary people from the patient community.
Finn’s Story
Lauren, a school teacher, mother of four and a self-described “beach junky,” shares a day in the life of her youngest son, Finn, who lives with Dravet syndrome.
Jett’s Story
For this family of four, receiving news that their son, Jett, had Dravet syndrome was devastating. Adjusting to their family’s lifestyle has not been an easy ride.
Malcolm’s Story
Mikell and Nick describe how their lives have completely changed over the last three years since their youngest son, Malcolm, was diagnosed with Dravet syndrome.
We thank these families for their willingness to share their stories.
By doing so they not only help build awareness around these disorders through their lived experiences, but also forge connectivity and community with others who are going through similar journeys.
