Short Story

I am on the Waiting List for my NillyNoggin EEG Cap. It will help me during my EEG testing! Please help me reach my goal.

I am so excited to receive my NillyNoggin!

And an added bonus,

if I go above and beyond my goal, we will help other Warriors battling epilepsy! How?

Once I reach my goal of $50, every $50 over that will support other Warriors wishing for a NillyNoggin!

I would really like to help others battling neurological conditions. I know what its like to fight every day and having something to help us get through stressful testing with a smile and help us feel like a rockstar is priceless.

Let’s work together and help sponsor NillyNoggin EEG Caps for more warriors battling epilepsy!

My medical condition requires me to get EEG tests that are very medically sterile looking and often scary.

Sometimes an EEG is worn for days, in public, and people often stare. The NillyNoggin covers up this scary medical look. It puts a positive, happy twist on the EEG procedure that some of us have to get a lot.

The NillyNoggin cap is comfortable and colorful! Lots of people will come up to talk with me ’cause it’s so cool! It will also give me confidence and comfort! This cap will help ease my anxiety and make life easier on everyone involved with my care.

3 years ago Laila was diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression at the age of 9. 2 years ago she was diagnosed with POTS. She took both those diagnoses hard but has handled it well. Around a year ago we thought Laila was having absence seizures but the Neurologist after a sleep deprived EEG said it was nothing. Laila in December of 2023 had 3 absence seizures within 10 min at school. We went back to the same neurologist, underwent another EEG that showed she had 5 seizures in 30min and she was diagnosed in January with generalized epilepsy at 12yo. She’s always been our firecracker red head that has handled all life threw at her. Her Epilepsy diagnoses has been hard, especially for a pre-teen who feels that she is different and constantly asks why me, but we tell her often that God chooses his strongest warriors to face the toughest battles. He chose her to face this journey because she is strong! Laila is an old soul but truly one try’s to make people laugh and accept everyone for where they are in life. She has good days and some really bad days, but she has an army of family and friends that aren’t letting her fight alone.
