Chastity’s fight started at age 4 October 31st 1990 while getting ready for Halloween.
Chastity had her first grand mall seizure and was rushed to the er. A mothers fear when we was told by Doctors after being admitted to the hospital and lots test my only daughter has epilepsy. As the years went by Chastity’s fight against epilepsy got worst seizures every day all kinds of trail and era meds would not stop the seizures. Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) is what we are dealing with. Seizures are hard to control and they will need life-long treatment. The intellectual and behavioral problems add to the complexity of this syndrome and the difficulties in managing life with LGS. In the last few years, several new treatments have emerged. While none are a cure for LGS, Chastity continues her fight against this monster called epilepsy as she has them everyday and watching each seizure as you know killing brain cells each and every time a seizure happens. Chastity a former model, loved to dance and walks in the beach. But that all changed on August 22 2013 Chas had a grand mall seizure and was in a coma 24 hours later due to non stop seizure month after month. Chas remains in a coma multiple operations double cranial to help her but to no luck as seizures continues while in a coma and getting worse. Doctors told me there’s nothing more they can do. I never gave up. Nine months later Chas wakes from coma fully paralyzed from neck down never to dance or walk again. May 2014 I decided to bring her home what ever Gods plain for Chas was going to take place at home where she will be taken care of and loved 24-7. I had to quit my job and become Chastity’s 24hr a day caregiver. Chastity’s having a seizure may seem confused or look like she staring at something that isn’t there. Other seizures can cause her to shake, and become unaware of what’s going on around her. Seizures are classified into two group Generalized seizures affect both sides of the brain Absence seizures, also called petite mall seizures, cause rapid blinking or a few seconds of staring into space. Tonic-clonic seizures, also called grand mal seizures. Chastity’s fight continues. As of date Chastity on 1-24 -2016 has her 30th birthday where she has a grand mall while going up ramp and falls out of wheel chair and all breaking her leg. She is now 24hr bed bound for the next 3 months.
