It ( grandmal ) -epilepsy. My friend's daughter the sorry I said the right side it is actually the left side that needs strengthening..due to damage on her brain the right side has brain damage which is causing the left side of her body to be alot weaker than the right side.

Has your friends little girl been tested for Tuberous Sclerosis?My little grandson started having epilepsy at 5 months old, and was diagnosed by a trainee doctor, who had just qualified, and recently done a course on Tuberous Sclerosis, otherwise we would still be in the dark now, and not be getting the proper care for him. Ask your friend to mention Tuberous Sclerosis to her doctor, as not all children are diagnosed properly.
