About Elise
Elise was born with a rare neurological condition called Lissencephaly, or "smooth brain." Instead of looking like a wrinkled raisin, her brain is smooth like an orange. The physical makeup of her brain is completely different, causing severe delays in every aspect of mental and motor development. This variation in brain structure also causes frequent seizures, which are difficult to manage, even with medications.
