Madison

Madison is an identical twin who lost her sibling at 31 weeks. Tragically, this caused Madison to have a stroke in utero, leading to her being born with cerebral palsy. She has 40% brain damage and was diagnosed with epilepsy in 2009. Madison experiences infantile spasms, focal seizures with impaired awareness, and drop seizures, where her muscles suddenly relax, causing her to collapse. She also suffers from right-sided weakness due to fluid-filled cysts that develop in her brain tissue. The damage to her middle cerebral artery has affected the left hemisphere of her brain.

Madison is a sweet young girl with a love for music and dancing. She enjoys reading, watching TV, drawing, and coloring. She's excited to head south this spring to meet sloths at Ocoee Riverside Farm. She and her family are looking forward to creating amazing memories on this experience!
