When 13-year-old Addy had an unexpected seizure, she was rushed to the ER in her hometown of Tulsa, OK. When faced with a months-long wait to see a neurologist, her mom turned to Children's Medical Center Plano for expert care.

Addy and her family met Dr. Afsaneh Talai, Pediatric Neurologist and Professor at UT Southwestern Medical Center, who explained Addy's epilepsy diagnosis and created a care plan.

Today, Addy is one year seizure-free and can focus on being a kid – enjoying school, playing cello and piano, figure skating and soccer. 💜
