C'mon, a two year old needs an emotional support dog? To combat seizures??

Give me a break.

A 2-year-old with hydrocephalus and epilepsy is a legitimate candidate for a service animal. It's not an emotional support animal. The training costs for any specialty support animal is 25K and up.

Why would a child need this? Kids have to sleep. Parents have to sleep. Having someone or in this case, a support animal, who can tell when the child is about to have a seizure, can notify parents so they are there to help.

A seizure when a child is asleep can be fatal. A seizure and a parent doesn't know and no one does - because the child is 2 years old - can be dangerous.

Maybe if you bothered to spend 30 seconds learning what hydrocephalus is and why a service animal is important (including so the child can be home with parents and not away from them under constant medical attention) you might not be so blase about a toddler with a medical condition - not Suburban Suzy who takes her pet poodle everywhere as her service animal.
