From a young age, Cameron Sparling dreamed of becoming an Irish dancer.
The dream was temporarily halted when, as a fourth grade student, he experienced a grand mal seizure and was diagnosed with epilepsy.
Cameron’s mother recalls the terrifying ordeal. “The most poignant moment for me was watching him in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) with a team of doctors around him,” said Natasha Sparling. “The first thought that went through my head was that he loves to Irish dance and he’s not gonna be able to do this again.”
Natasha says her initial concern was replaced by deep gratitude when Cameron awoke the next day.
