Girl with half a brain testament to courage
Soon, the tremors moved into her leg, and Morgan's parents took her to the Stollery Children's Hospital in October 2006.
After undergoing countless steroid treatments,[url=http://woolrichparkaschweiz.albirank.net/][b]woolrich winter coats woolen mills[/b][/url], MRIs and other tests, she was diagnosed in April 2007 with a rare neurological disease known as Rasmussen's syndrome, which causes brain deterioration.
"This isn't a common illness, so there's not a lot of information out there to go on,[url=http://rogervivieronlinesale.olimx.com/][b]cheap roger vivier sale[/b][/url]," said Darla Fischer, Morgan's mom.
After living with the disorder for two years,[url=http://woolrichoutletde.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Online Shop[/b][/url], Morgan underwent surgery and had the left side of her brain removed -- the only viable treatment option available.
"They actually went in and removed the diseased areas," Fischer said.
Typically, the left hemisphere of the brain controls movement and feeling on the right side of the body,[url=http://parajumperssalenorge.albirank.net/][b]Parajumpers Jakke Outlet[/b][/url], and vice versa. The brain's left side also usually controls language, math and logic skills, while the right side helps process auditory and visual imagery.
Because of her age, Morgan's brain was better able to adapt than an adult's would have been,[url=http://discountnikesoccershoes.webmium.com/][b]Nike Soccer Shoes[/b][/url], said Ryan Sommer, an occupational therapist who worked with Morgan during the four months she spent as a Glenrose patient in 2009.
"What set Morgan apart is she was always motivated. She always wanted to try,[url=http://duveticaukoutlet.halod.com/][b]Duvetica Outlet[/b][/url]," Sommer said. "There was never that element of sadness or depression for her loss. It was more that optimism and enthusiasm for wanting to do things for herself."
Before she was diagnosed,[url=http://woolrichparkaschweiz.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Parka Schweiz Online[/b][/url], Morgan loved to swim, do taekwondo, and run around the playground with other kids.
After the surgery, she had to relearn even the most basic things.
Morgan said she was "scared and nervous" when she began her rehabilitation, but with perseverance she learned how to walk, speak and eat on her own.
"Probably within the first week she was in a wheelchair and able to sit up well," Fischer said. "You could see the progress almost immediately."
Some functions, such as reading and writing,[url=http://rogervivieronlinesale.olimx.com/][b]cheap 2013 roger vivier online sale[/b][/url], are coming along more slowly.
"It's amazing, but it's still a long way to go," Fischer said. "She used to be right-handed, and she had to learn how to write again, but with her left hand."
The brain is capable of incredible recovery, Sommer said,[url=http://duveticadoudoune.halod.com/][b]http://duveticadoudoune.halod.com/[/b][/url], and Morgan's case is a testament to that.
"With Morgan,[url=http://monclerjackenonlinech.albirank.net/][b]Moncler Weste Billig[/b][/url], we're talking about the entire side of her brain," he said. "For her to be able to carry on and do most of the things she could do before is a pretty major achievement."
