    Here's where to help with the Epilepsy Foundation (http://www.epilepsyfoundation.org/howtohelp/ ). This is the most trusted name in the field and supports the absolute best scientists, neurologists, and neurosurgeons. Please make a donation to find better cures. I am not affiliated with the organization but know of how much of an impact they have made to make people's lives better. Please give.

    Epilepsy? Wait just a damn minute, dude. This was not epilepsy. He had the kawasaki syndrome. Completely different thing. I DO agree with you about finding a cure for it, though.

    Very sad. Shows how much more money and work we still have to do in the field of epilepsy. People need to open up their wallets and help us researchers find a cure. It is serious and it's about time people start taking it seriously. How sad and how so preventable. Please support the Epilepsy Foundation. What a beautiful child is gone. How many more do we have to lose before people realize that everyone needs to help.
