GrievingWilson

My cousin and his wife had a son with that same thing. Not exactly sure of his age now, but I think he is in his early 30's. (I don't see them much anymore, they live in Florida, I am in Chicago now). Anyway, in his childhood, MRI's were not that common so they did not know what was wrong until he was around 11-12. As I recall he was mis-diagnosed with cerebral palsy until his first MRI revealed the truth.

Here is some encouragement for you... He has had a amazing life. Grew up, finished school, married, he is a father now and one of the most handsome members of our family. (he is the man in this shot, the little boy is his son)

From what I know, the other half of his brain slowly took over most of the functions that the missing half should have done.

(edit: I just checked out his facebook page, he is 36)

Mostly just physical, and even that is minimal. As I recall, he had some trouble learning math, (but then so did I :)

Yes, he has some loss of movement in his right side. Sort of similar to a person who has had a stroke, but not nearly that bad. Never seemed to stop him though... as a boy he was always out there playing football and rolling in the mud with the rest of us.

You are most welcome.
