Maine boy was suffering nearly 200 seizures a day. Now he's gone 27 days without one. [View all]
DEDHAM, Maine — Wyatt Beauchamp, 10, scrambled to the top of a pile of haystacks in his family’s high-tunnel greenhouse Tuesday morning, a vantage point that gave him a good view of the excitable flock of chickens that live at his family’s Lone Spruce Farm.
He wore a red plaid jacket and a baseball cap, and was confident and full of mischief as he swayed on the stacks, made designs in the frost on the greenhouse roof and threw a handful of hay down at his mother. All the while, Wyatt talked a mile a minute about remote controlled cars, his pet fish and his love of heavy machinery.
It was a very normal morning for a 10 year old. But for Wyatt, who has epilepsy and has struggled with debilitating seizures since just after his fourth birthday, normalcy felt remarkable. Not that long ago, he was enduring as many as 200 seizures a day.
