The mother of an eight-year-old girl who suffers 300 seizures a day says she has been 'robbed of her childhood'. Olivia McCafferty, from Glasgow, has Doose Syndrome, a severe form of childhood epilepsy.
On her worst days the schoolgirl can suffer up to 300 seizures a day which can cause loss of consciousness, serious falls and have left her black and blue.Over the last six years Olivia's condition has gotten so bad that she has lost the ability to walk and is now wheelchair-bound.Her mum Julie Cabrey, 45, says the youngster's medication can leave her feeling 'like a zombie' and her health struggles have robbed her of a normal childhood.She told the Record: "Her seizures have gone absolutely haywire in the last 18 months."Last year, we counted her 300th seizure one day.
Now we've just stopped counting."I have to sit down everyday and watch my daughter constantly have different types of seizures.
