KOBE :: COMPLEX PARTIAL SEIZURES

Meet Kobe.
Kobe is a kind-hearted boy who enjoys participating in his drama class. Drama helped Kobe build confidence, express himself and really shine!
Kobe is graduating 8th grade and excited to begin high school in the fall. When Kobe was in pre-school his teacher noticed he was not meeting some of the milestones and one day she called home and told Kobe’s mom that he was having a seizure. He was taken to the doctor and it took a year to determine the type of seizures Kobe was experiencing and get an actual diagnosis. It took several attempts of finding the correct medication for Kobe before his seizures stopped. Due to developmental delays caused by the seizures Kobe struggled in school. It was not until he was accepted into the special needs class that Kobe started to excel.

Kobe has been emotionally effected and has suffered from depression because of bullying. Kobe’s mom shared that it can be difficult for people to understand that he looks like a typical 8th grader but he is years behind developmentally. It is important to educate people on the invisible diagnosis’s that impact so many.

Kobe is a handsome and sweet boy. We are so proud of you Kobe and wish you the very best as you begin high school. Keep smiling and know you are loved!
