Working Towards Seizure-Free, With Help From A Gillette Neurologist
When Mark and Sandy Brull moved from California to the Twin Cities 3 years ago, they knew to expect autumn colors, snowy winters, and those telltale Midwestern accents. But the family discovered something else, as well — Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare and a neurologist who’s helping their little girl, 9-year-old Maya, overcome a mysterious seizure disorder.
Mark Brull describes his daughter (left, with her sister) as a charmer. “She radiates sweetness. Just being around her is a pleasure.”
Maya had her first seizure when she was just 3 ½ years old. She was diagnosed with intractable epilepsy — a condition that means, quite simply, that her seizures are difficult for doctors to control. She’s been under the care of Dr. Galen Breningstall, a Gillette neurologist, for more than 3 years. The medication he’s prescribed has helped reduce the severity and the duration of Maya’s seizures, leaving her more time to play, learn, and just be a kid.
An EEG at Gillette maps Maya’s brain waves, helping doctors better understand her seizures.
While there’s still work to be done — Maya’s epilepsy is among the most complex cases Dr. Breningstall has seen — the Brulls know he’s committed to helping their daughter live life to the fullest. “He is just wonderful,” says Mark. “If he hasn’t heard from us in a week, he’ll send an email. He’ll email us back on Sundays. And if he has a new idea, a new medication to try, he’ll contact us right away.”

Thanks for your article. My partner and i have constantly seen that many people are eager to lose weight because they wish to show up slim as well as attractive. Even so, they do not often realize that there are more benefits just for losing weight as well. Doctors assert that overweight people suffer from a variety of diseases that can be directly attributed to the excess weight. Fortunately that people who sadly are overweight plus suffering from various diseases can reduce the severity of their particular illnesses by means of losing weight. It is possible to see a gradual but identifiable improvement with health as soon as even a small amount of losing weight is realized.

Hey, thanks for the post.Thanks Again. Cool.
Actually I also have a seizure disorder that started when I was 18 months. When I turned seven I had brain surgery, since then I had only two seizures
. I am happy in the state I live if I was seizure free for 2 years I can drive! I wish luck to her, and as of today I just have ‘auras’ that just simulate that I am about to have one.
