Middletown boy's life is a balancing act

This is a great article about a young boy named Peter and his experinces with epilepsy. Here is a brief snippet. Do check out the whole article at DelawareOnline.

As the children in the Tender Loving Kare kindergarten enjoyed a Valentine's Day party, 6-year-old Peter Serwik's mind went blank and he fell out of his chair.

That's the last time he had a seizure -- a vast improvement from his infancy, when Peter would experience about 30 a day.

Peter has epilepsy, a condition defined by seizures. On Wednesday, he'll address the nation's leaders on Capitol Hill as the Delaware representative for Kids Speak Up!, a national program in which children petition congressional leaders for money for various diseases and disorders.

"If we don't get [money] we'll have seizures every day," said the young Middletown resident.
