Description
Please meet adorable Asher. He was born April of 2018 and is said to be a smiling and calm child. Asher has several diagnoses including congenital genetic metabolic disease which means he must remain on a strict Keto diet and drinks special milk. When medical personnel conducted an electroencephalography, epileptic activity was registered, which is why constant anticonvulsant therapy with Trileptal is being carried out. No epi-seizures have been observed after its initiation.
We received new information for Asher from February 2025. Please contact kathy@wiaa.org to see all the cute new photos. His new videos are below. Asher stands up on his own with a stationary support and steps side to side, holding on to the stationary support. He moves by crawling. He can sit alone without support. He spends his waking hours with the other children in the group and he likes it very much. He does not isolate himself from other children. He maintains full eye contact.
Every 6 months they travel to a neighboring city, where the doctor who is following his diagnosis and condition is located. There he stays at least 2-3 days in the hospital and each time he undergoes a set of tests regarding EEG, calorie deficit and each time a menu is created and the necessary amount of Ketocal is prescribed.
For more information, please contact kathy@wiaa.org.
