Meet Dominik - Our September Kid of the Month



Dominik had a rough start in life. While in the care of his birth mother at 4 months old he began to have nonstop seizure activity. He was rushed to Primary where they ended up putting him into a medically induced coma while they tried to figure out what was going on. Dominik stayed in the coma for 3 months until they could finally get the right balance of medications to stop the seizure activity. No cause was ever discovered and due to the massive amount of seizures he had there was some brain damage. We came into his life right when they brought him out of the coma and did foster to adopt for him and his twin brother. At this point Dominik has had no further seizures since February of 2009 and is off ALL medications. He is developmentally delayed by about a year and we are hoping they can figure out some kind of diagnosis since the education system expects there to be one by age 8
