Louise,
I'm so glad that you are brave enough to speak up and tell others about the brain, how it works and how to protect it. I have loved getting to know you this year at school, reading your stories, and listening to your adventures with cupcake. You win everyone over with that smile of yours and the twinkle in your eye.

Louise, it's great to see your story on this page. I remember how brave and still you had to be during your surgery. I'm so glad that you have been seizure-free since then, and that you've been teaching others about it.
Congratulations! I hope you keep dancing! --Mrs. Gilsdorf
