'Hamilton' star Miguel Cervantes and his wife have been outspoken about finding a cure for epilepsy throughout their daughter's battle with the disease.
Kelly Cervantes wrote on her blog that Adelaide suffered from a rare, “neurodegenerative” form of epilepsy that was causing her brain to slowly deteriorate. On her blog, she wrote that Adelaide had been slowly losing her ability to do things like suck her thumb over the past few months, and last month, the family made the difficult decision to enter hospice care, focusing on keeping Adelaide comfortable over finding treatments or a cure.
“The word that has haunted us from our earliest days on this journey, our worst nightmare, has come true,” she wrote in an emotional blog post about beginning hospice care for Adelaide. “We’ve watched as she’s lost the ability to suck her thumb, as she’s drifted more distantly from us month after month, and now this.”Since news of Adelaide’s passing, Miguel Cervantes has taken to Twitter to thank fans for the outpouring of support his family has received.
