Finnian has a new friend

Finnian's new friend is Billy Caldwell and he comes from Omagh, Co.Tyrone, Ireland. Billy and his Mammy came to Chicago to get medical help for Billy. You see in 2006 they were told to take Billy home there wasn't anything they could do. Billy has Epilepsy.
Thanks to the internet Billy's mom Charlotte found a Doctor in Chicago and Billy's seizures have been greatly reduced.
You can scroll down to Finnian's friends to the right and get connected to Billy's foundation.
Charlotte Billy's mom has not only helped her own child but through Billy's foundation she has helped other families come to the US to get the proper treatment for their childrens seizures.
So please take a look at Billy's site.
