It is revealed that he has a severe case of epilepsy and needs to go to a hospital regularly. This new condition puts the family in Jeopardy as they don't have insurance or welfare and struggle financially. Despite heavy medication, Robbie's condition worsens and might need a neurosurgery. Lori may find a silver bullet for her son in ketogenic diet.The film is based on Abrahams' experience as a father of an epileptic child. After finding out about how the ketogenic diet helped his son recover from a major case of epilepsy, it is endorsed by the Charlie Foundation To Help Cure Pediatric Epilepsy (now retitled The Charlie Foundation for Ketogenic Therapies) and promotes kitogenic diet over drug treatment and neurosurgery.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Unrelated to the Web Serial Novel.

Based on a True Story: The life of Jim Abrahams as a parent to his child Charlie who has epilepsy and went through ketogenic diet as a recovery. The first seconds of the film indicate that despite dramatization and fictionalization, it is inspired by actual events.
