LINK: Fox 9 Tells Story of Fridley Teen with Rare Form of Epilepsy

Fox 9 aired a report Thursday about Kayla Borman, a Fridley teenager with epilepsy: 

Dr. Janice Hassumani, of Fairview's Fridley Clinic, treated Kayla as a toddler. She told FOX 9 most childhood seizures can be controlled with medication, but Kayla's condition is so rare and complex, even specialists are stumped.

Hassumani said, "The problem is: Most of her brain is causing these seizure activities. It's not just one little spot."

The continuous seizures have taken a toll.

"With Kayla, she's had these seizures over and over again so much, she hasn't had a chance to just function normally… her poor brain just hasn't learned to develop," said Hassumani.

Borman has raised $4,000 for the Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota through lemonade stands in Fridley, Fox 9 reports. 

Now a "Kayla's Krew" fundraising event is set for Aug. 4, 2012, at .
