Here's Today's Feel-Good Story:
Oran Knowlson suffered for 13 years from treatment-resistant epilepsy but now thanks to a new brain implant, he doesn't have to worry about having seizures anymore.
Needing round-the-clock attention and care, Oran is the first person in the world to receive this implant which is part of a human trial.
âThe future looks hopeful, which I wouldnât have dreamed of saying six months ago,â his mother said.
âFor Oran and his family, epilepsy completely changed their lives and so to see him riding a horse and getting his independence back is absolutely astounding,â said Martin Tisdall, a consultant pediatric neurosurgeon at Great Ormond Street Hospital, London, where Oran was treated. âWe couldnât be happier to be part of their journey.â
