River my 6 year old daughter

River is my 6 year old daughter who was diagnosed with myoclonic Astatic epilepsy or Doose syndrome. She was diagnosed epileptic in the beginning of 2013 and then was diagnosed with Doose syndrome in the middle of 2014. We recognize the myoclonic activity when she started Bansal. She is currently on three pharmaceutical medications but we supplement with vitamins and cannabis. Our goal right now is to remove her completely from the pharmaceuticals and only use cannabis as a treatment and rescue. Cannabis has been used for rescue twice and it has worked within 1 minute.
