Start with 20, which is about how many different prescription drugs the 14-year-old Gretna boy has tried to combat the unrelenting seizures that have left him with the mental capacity of a toddler. Or four, which is the number of brain surgeries he has undergone.
But he still endures almost 30 seizures every day.
