Teddy was the youngest person in the country to get a brain implant to help.
Teddy didn't smile at us or reach for objects, but at first, his doctors weren't concerned that he wasn't meeting milestones.
Teddy has seen a reduction in his seizures since receiving the brain implant.
Courtesy Children's NebraskaI knew if we didn't do something, I worried Teddy would dieI knew the doctor was right.
Yet the treatment we were considering, a brain implant called responsive neurostimulation (RNS), was only approved for adults.
