Kayla began having seizures which caused her legs to jerk vigorously. The seizures were troubling to Kayla’s family and became persistent even on medication. Tests were able to rule out that Kayla did not have epilepsy, which was thought to be one of the causes. She was later diagnosed with Tourette’s syndrome in January 2009. Kayla sought the care of Vanderbilt Medical Center and was treated by noted expert, Dr. Gregory Barnes and Dr. Juliann Paolicchi. With Tourette’s being non-threatening, Kayla’s doctors are confident she will be a healthy kid.
