“Our daughter Shannon had brain surgery at Nicklaus Children's Hospital, formerly Miami Children's Hospital, in 2006-2007 and now receives periodic follow-up care from the Brain Institute. Directly after surgery, she went 10 months without a seizure while on medication. She's 17 now and we are very thankful for the research and advanced technology of the Nicklaus Children's Hospital Neurology Department for brain disorders.”
