14-Year-Old Rare Brain Disease Survivor Publishes First In A Series Of Adventure Middle-Grade Novels After Relearning How To Read And Write
Charleston, SC, Oct. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- When she was eight years old, Axi Mok and her parents rushed to UCLA’s emergency room. For months, Axi’s cognitive abilities had deteriorated. She started second grade a year ahead in math, reading, and writing, but by Thanksgiving she could barely hold a pen in her hands or count to 10.
After months of unanswered questions, a physician family friend—who also happened to be a renowned neurologist—suggested the answer which proved to be correct: Axi was suffering from Hashimoto’s Encephalopathy (HE).
Axi’s Herculean effort to heal herself began. Six years later, the entire family feels she’s in complete remission (despite the disease not having a cure) and seizes every opportunity to relearn what the disease has robbed from her.
