"I would like other people to know that you can't catch epilepsy, and you should not be ashamed of it."

According to Corey Hoover's mother, Lee, the family's experiences with epilepsy have been a mix of "trying and rewarding."

Having to live with various types of seizures is never easy for a young child and his parents, but this lovable child has never let his condition get him down. He's social, which led him to recently attend the Epilepsy Foundation of Western/Central Pennsylvania's summer camp, Camp Frog.
