Website Update - Fall 2011

 

Don't miss the recently updated Hope for HH website including HH Headlines and our new featured family - Landon Tipps. Many of you have been following Landon's courageous story on facebook and in the news!

Also, there is a new article by Dr. Jack Kerrigan, Chairman of our Medical Advisory Board. And we are pleased to introduce our first in a series of endocrinology articles by Medical Advisory Board member, Dr. Maya Lodish. In this article, Dr. Lodish focuses on precocious puberty.
Breaking News

 

For anyone that did not hear - there was national breaking news for epilepsy and HH patients recently when Texas Children's Hospital used state of the art minimally invasive laser ablation surgery to treat hypothalamic hamartomas.  Links to these stories can be found on the website as well.

Seizure Tracker recently added gelastic seizures to their FREE comprehensive tools for tracking seizures and helping patients and doctors understand the relationship between seizure activity and anti-epileptic medications and other symptoms. After you set up an account and begin logging seizures, gelastic seizures is one of the seizure choices. Thanks ST!
