AVM Alliance Podcast

The AVM Alliance Podcast was created for parents who are taking care of a medically complex child including those who have been diagnosed with epilepsy or rare disease. This podcast has a slight focus on pediatric stroke, Brain AVM / Aneurysm (brain vessel disease) and traumatic brain Injury (TBI). The goal is to provide helpful information and remind other parents they are not alone on this difficult journey. Thank you for joining us.

Happy October to all our listeners. October is Brain AVM Awareness Month. As a reminder, A brain AVM is a tangle of abnormal arteries and veins, that do not have the needed capillaries in between the connections. If you would like more information on Brain AVM’s: AVM Alliance, an official non-profit, now has its own website www.avmalliance.org. On it you will find lots of information as well as personal stories. Last month’s Part two episode started with terms found on radiology tests doctor’s order and dove a bit into epilepsy, EEG’s and stroke in infants. Today’s episode will end the series with questions about stem cells and other therapies and programs for kids who have suffered a stroke. We will end today's podcast with a ”Things to Think About” takeaway lesson from a special children’s book.
