Dean Henshall, 12, from St Helens Merseyside, died from an unexpected prolonged seizure last Friday in Alder Hey Hospital Liverpool. Please visit his fan pages. Simply by becoming a fan you can raise money and further raise epilepsy awareness. Thank you.
Dean Jefferson Henshall, much loved son of Sheila & Geoff, grandson of Doris & Jim, brother of Lucy - and now re-united with nanny Vera and grandad Jimmy. Following a prolonged seizure in the early hours of Tuesday 27 October Dean was transferred to the Intensive Care Unit at Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool.... Very sadly, in spite of receiving the very best care available, Dean passed away peacefully at 1.10PM on Friday 30 October. Rather than sending cards or flowers the family ask those who would like to to make a donation in memory of Dean to the charity The Idea League who support families affected by Dravet Syndrome. Dean's sister Lucy, 14, has Dravet. More information can be found at the JustGiving website address above. Alternatively please send donations (cheques preferably) to: The Idea League UK, c/o, 51, Ruskin Drive, Dentons Green, St Helens, Merseyside, WA10 6RW. Thank you. Read More

Hey guys, we need help!! My husband had the VNS implanted March this year, than he had infection set in a month later and we fought it w/different antibiotics forever it seemed like. Then his surgeon, Dr. A. C. Jones said we had to take it out. The removal was August 19th. Then he was on more antibiotics, and he...9;s... on hopefully his last round now of Augmentin (Staph infection, but not MRSA).
Our problem is that we had his next surgery scheduled for Nov. 6th and Dr. Jones nurse was going through the prior authorization process when it was DENIED!!! Our insurance company, DAS (Dakota Care), is a COBRA plan through Micron and the big wig in their company says Mark must be infection free for 6 months before they'll approve the surgery!!! Our COBRA will run out by then, AND we've met our deductible for the year....what can we do???Read MoreRead More
