Our children find it challenging to walk and talk. They deal with serious medical issues, such as life-threatening seizures and migraines that cause muscle weakness and paralysis. Many variants cause neurodegeneration, meaning brain cells are dying. The clock is ticking. There are no clinical trials. There is no treatment. There is no cure. YET.
