My name is Holly. I created this blog to document my now 4 year-old daughter Jailynn's journey with ACC, cortical dysplasia, and epilepsy. Also her brain surgery (hemispherectomy)and recovery.

head shaking
Jailynn has been doing this head shaking. At the reunion I had a discussion with a neurolpsychologist Dr Salorio, Jailynn has seen her before. In an email she suggested 2 different behavior clinics at Kennedy Kreiger. I called to get an appointment. They cannot get her in until September. She will have to miss a day of school. I was told it is probably a self stimulating behavior and if not stopped could become a permanent behavior. It has become more frequent. She does it a majority of the day now.
