Ariel Marrero

Ariel is a 12 yr old girl who is basically a medical mystery.She has seen countless doctors who are still trying to figure out what's wrong with her.She has been losing cognitive function and at the age of 12 comprehends like a 5 yr old.We still don't know why,but we are hoping to figure things out soon.

Hello friends,I hope you're all doing well.This week has been sad and hectic.We have been having tons of doctor appointments and are finally getting some answers.The week started on a sad note with the passing of sweet little Jacob.We are so sorry for the whole Duckworth Family.Monday Ariel had an EEG and to our surprise showed that she is having seizure activity.Tuesday she had her Neuropsyche evaluation and we don't quite have answers on that one yet.Yesterday she had an MRI that turned out to be normal,which was a huge sigh of relief .Today we saw the Neurologist.He said some people can have seizure activity without seizures,but considering Daniel's history he thinks she probably is having them.He wants her to have a 48 hr VEEG and then will probably put her on Topamax and see how that does for her.I'm still stunned and hope she doesn't go the same route that Daniel has.Well I'm going to head off to bed.God bless,Linn
