Jorgito was born with a genetic condition known as Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) Dependency, which has caused him to be epileptic and suffer from seizures since birth.  As a result, he works hard to overcome developmental delays, and has proven himself to be a real little fighter!  We're so proud of him, and are thrilled to share him with you!

We've designed this website for a number of reasons; to help update our friends and family on Jorgito's amazing progress, to introduce our little angel to the world as a whole, and to help increase awareness of Pyridoxine Dependency (which is far under diagnosed).  So, we've included links to Jorgito's personal story and milestones, photos of him (and our whole family), information about Pyridoxine Dependency, and links to other webpages of interest, including pages dedicated to other children with Pyridoxine Dependency, infantile spasms (West Syndrome) and other similar or related conditions.

It is important for everyone to know that vitamin B6 saved our son's life.  There are many individuals out there who are B6 dependent or responsive, and there are many others who would benefit from TRYING B6 supplementation.  It is water soluable and poses minimal risks, especially when compared to the traditional anti-epileptic drugs.  Talk to your doctor if you have questions, and help spread the word.  Many babies have seizures and never receive B6 treatment.  You could save a life by sharing this info.

We're so glad you decided to visit, and hope you'll check back with us regularly.  I'm going to try to regularly update photos and our story on here, and will add info and news as I can.  Please don't hesitate to contact me; I'm more than happy to share any and all info I've gathered, and would love to hear from you all!  And, please be sure to sign our guestbook, too!
