What Changes Does A Schizencephaly Patient Go Through?

My grandson has schizencephaly. He is now 24 and is a joy. He has both hemispheres involved-what changes will he be going through within the next few years. His granddad is 73 and I m 72 and Sugn has lived with us since he was 5 . I m afraid of what the future will bring to us all.
