Our daughter Tara was born on 12/30/87, she weighed 6.6 and was 19 inches long. She was quite unplanned, we weren't going to have anymore children. One of us got fixed a little too late, 8 months later, Tara, the doctor said she is perfect. At six months old we had a CT-scan done thus discovering alobar hpe, then at two found a cyst by the eye that needed to be removed and found she has glaucoma{eye drops), in 99 she had to have Harrington Rods put in her back, in 2000 she developed seizures and is on Topamax and Dilantin for that. We have some trouble with vomiting but I think that is a behavior problem since the upper GI and endocopy was done and showed nothing wrong. Tara is now 15 and is doing pretty good. She is very healthy and happy. I just wish I could find a good way for her to communicate with us. She is to passive and will just watch. Now that we have a computer I have to find the right program to motivate her. She is our Heaven's Very Special Child, we love her. Thank, Gloria
