David was born with Angelman Syndrome, a genetic disorder that causes developmental motor and mental delays with neurological problems such as seizures, sleep disorders, delay in walking and no speech.
The first three years of David\'s life were devastating, because he had a lot of seizures and hospitalizations. When doctors gave him strong medicine to stop the seisures, he would sleep for several days. But when he woke up, he opened his eyes, looked up at me and gave me a big smile as if saying, everything is now OK Mom.
Today, David is five years old, and due to his condition he still he does not talk or walk. A genetics doctor, recently examined David and said he might walk with a lot of therapy. As time progresses, though it will be more difficult for him to become ambulatory. I have developed a bad back from lifting him up, so I need help to get him some intensive therapy so at least he can start to walk on his own. Please help us.
Thank you
