Hi I am Carly Schapiro's mom she wanted to do this for her you know it maybe difficult. Carly has a disability first of all so what but I will share her story for learning and understanding purposes. She started in my utero but it was hard to tell that she had a stroke at the time. Carly was diagnosed through her MRI at twelve months old and has been receiving intensive therapy since she was fifteen months old. She has CP (Cerebal Palsy).  Which made it more difficult to use two hands the doctors say it is nothing. Part of her intensive therapy was wearing on her left leg a brace for about fourteen years but it is off now and she in currently sixteen. She currently has a splint on her left arm which thank God has been very helpful to her and this one is comfortable not wooden. She developed epilepsy in the year of 2015 on August 12th. This was her first seizure so she was scared and taken by surprise she  what I felt was sadness that my little girl could not go on a trip she had waited for basically the whole summer.  Ever Since Semptember 23rd we have had no seizures and she has been taking trileptal , a drug designed for seizures. Our only hospitalization was our first seizure. If anything she feels more confident, strong and outgoing ever since. She is social at special camps Chai Lifeline and Kids of Courage and in school and feels she owns that disability more then other way around. Physically she is much slower then other girls or boys which made it difficult to be in a bigger building because it made it harder for Carly to get from one class to another so we switched schools everything was better for her . Opening jars,bottles ,caps and doing other things requiring two hands made her sad she can't do but it's been much better. Before the seizures Carly had Appendisitis which is occurs when the appendix becomes blocked,and bacteria invades infecting the wall and lumen of the appendix which made her very depressed. She now believes in herself very much.
