Brittany Gostomski

Brittany lives in Michigan and as a teen mom in college, Brittany had no idea what the LGS journey would entail. Brittany’s daughter Amaree was first diagnosed with Infantile Spasms at two months in 2009 and by 2012 Amaree’s seizures had progressed into LGS. Most people think that LGS is a show-stopping diagnosis but with a true performer the show must go on. Brittany and Amaree have met other families through the LGS Foundation and it has been a winning performance ever since. Ten years and two completed degrees later, Brittany loves supporting other families through their LGS “performance” to find the good within and make light out of such a bad diagnosis. Even with the ups and downs of LGS, Amaree still prevails through like a true star! At ten years old Amaree performs through life as we live this play called LGS.
