Epilepsy Madeline Browne of Melbourne, Florida, was only 3 years old when she began having seizures. Her parents wasted no time seeking help and were relieved to learn that one of the nation’s top pediatric programs for treatment of medically resistant epilepsy was located at the Miami Children’s Brain Institute.
The Brownes bonded quickly with Dr. Michael Duchowny, Director of the Comprehensive Epilepsy Program, dubbing him “Dr. Do” for his can-do attitude and willingness to explore all avenues to help Madeline. After trying a variety of options, doctors and Madeline’s parents agreed that surgery was the best route.
Following a revolutionary surgery performed by neurosurgeon Dr. Sanjiv Bhatia to remove the diseased tissue, Madeline, now 10, has been seizure-free and has dazzled her family with her new found maturity. She is doing well in school, has no speech or physical deficits, and pursues hobbies that include art, ballet and basketball.
Together we can make a difference in the life of a child today!
