Jayden was born on August 17th, 2006. Before he turned 5, he was administered a dozen powerful medications to tame Dravet Syndrome — a rare form of epilepsy which leads to severe seizures. Jayden was taking 22 anti-seizure pills a day, but the results were devastating. The prescription medicines left him immobilized due to the side effects. Jayden couldn’t walk, eat solid food or take a bath and he was still experiencing grand mal seizures, some that lasted more than an hour.

On June 4th, 2011, David gave his son marijuana oil, and for the first time since Jayden was 4-months-old, the boy went four days without a single seizure. Jayden now eats solid food, plays in the park, and swims in the pool.
