Haley Is My Hero
Haley's Dravet syndrome Story
This video captures how playful and full of life Haley was as a toddler. She was a bright little girl who spoke early and could write her name at two years old. Sadly, today at nine years old, she still writes her name the same. We made this video to educate and raise awareness for Dravet syndrome. Our prayer is that another family will not have to wait through years of seizures without a diagnosis.

I saw your video of Haley. Our daughter was born in the same month and year and also was diagnosed with Dravet. We have fairly good success with the therapy of the Family Hope Center in Philadelphia, which we do since about a year now.

I just want to thank you for sharing your Haley's story. I too have a daughter, Hailey, who fits the criteria for Dravet perfectly. After reading, researching and seeing your daughter, I have asked our neuro to perform the test for Dravet. He was all go for brain surgery and never once mentioned Dravet??
My Hailey is now 15 and has been through 23 drugs and combos, keto diet, VNS, numerous specialists and several diagnosis, all to no avail. She seizes constantly and seems to experience evey type of seizure documented.
While Dravet may not be a "Yippee" diagnosis, at least I feel some peace if we confirm the cause of her never-ending, always changing disease.
Thank you again so very much.

Lisa, Haley is just so adorable! My son Caleb had a Grand Mal that lasted about two hours back when he was 8yrs old. I am so sorry that she and your family have to go through this and I hope a cure is found soon! I'll be praying for you all.
