A family from Arizona has been hoping to give a drug treatment to their 5-year-old son by the coming week. However, the treatment is not only controversial for kids, but for adults as well.

The family has been planning to use medical marijuana so that their son could be freed from seizures, which have been caused by cortical dysplasia. This is a genetic brain defect.

It has been found that Zander-named boy had suffered his first seizure when he was just nine months old. He is the second one of the three sons of Jennifer and Jacob Welton.

Over time, the boy has tended to suffer seizures on a weekly basis. While some, according to the parents, are seeable in the boy's eyes as they tend to twitch, the others were more severe.

It is being said that the little boy realizes a stiffening body. Also, his breathing stops at times, which turns him blue. Thus, the parents keep praying that the latest seizure becomes his last one.

The drug treatment is being expected to provide some relief to the family. "If this finally works for Zander and I finally get to meet who he is, that would be amazing. Because he's just a little boy that's trapped in this craziness", said Jennifer.
