Piper’s Story: When an EEG Leads to Life-Changing Care

​​Piper experienced her first seizures right after birth. After searching for a place that could provide neurology care to a newborn, her parents brought her to Boys Town National Research Hospital. Her pediatric neurologist ordered various tests, including a long-term EEG to monitor Piper's brain while she was awake and asleep. The EEG showed a vitamin deficiency and after the appropriate lab work was done, a treatment plan was started. With Piper's seizures now under control, she is becoming more mobile and vocal.

Watch the video below to hear about Piper's story and her families experience with Boys Town National Research Hospital.
