A three-year-old boy with epilepsy has been free of seizures for six months after surgeons ‘disconnected’ half of his brain.
Ernie Djedje, from Sheffield, had up to 100 devastating seizures a day before the pioneering surgery.
Each severe seizure caused him to forget all of the skills he had learnt meaning his parents, Kelly and Franck, had to keep teaching him to sit up and crawl over and over again.
Mrs Djedje said: ‘Ernie’s has not had one seizure since his operation in June 2013 and it has transformed his life.
