Conner standing on the Virginia Capitol Building lawn in Richmond, VA. This is the spot of Conner's very first seizure. "Thumbs up! I'm fine!" he says with a smile. Read "First Seizure" blog for more about that life changing day.  This is Conner Jonathan. He is two years old and so full of life! Together we can help him live a seizure free life.
