Scots boy, 7, diagnosed with rare condition finally returns to school after 171 days in hospital
A seven-year-old boy with a rare neurological condition has finally returned to school after spending 171 days in hospital.
Quinns, who is nonverbal, returned to Scotland at the end of December and had more treatment in Edinburgh and Larbert before he was ready to go home after 171 days in hospital. "Quinns was off school for two weeks before he went into hospital but it didn't seem like anything major. He began to have moments when the movements were really extreme and the hospital didn't know what was causing them."
"Specific symptoms may include seizures that start early in childhood, severe intellectual disability, poor muscle tone , irregular muscle contractions , and involuntary movements of the face and tongue."
