Seizures don’t always look like they do in the movies. Sometime they are silent, a distant stare, a sudden drop to the ground or just an eye flutter. Saylor’s are eye flutters and dropping. She was having over 180 daily now less than 5.

My 3 year old daughter was just diagnosed with
#syngap
heterozygous nonsense variant, NN_006772.2(SYNGAP1):c.984C>G, p.(TYr328*)
There are so many things parents take for granted. This was Saylor’s first Christmas being able to open her own gifts and oh how much fun she had! She took her time and made sure every little piece was off. I couldn’t have asked for anything more ❤️ God’s blessings❤️
