Take control of your epilepsy and seizures. Seizure management has never been easier.
TAKE CONTROL TODAYI haven't writting on here for awhile, not much has changed. Kaitlyn hasn't had any big seizures, she's had a few space out episodes and I think that she is having some in the car. Not sure though. I am hoping that this doctor in St. Louis will be able to give us all of the answers that we need. I'm afraid that if we leave there without the answers that we need, we are never going to find out what is what.
Kaitlyn has been having alot of outbursts lately and is hurting Chris. She keeps kicking and biting him. It seems like she is always in timeout now. And it's at 2 minute intervals. I feel bad getting mad at her when she gets mad, sometimes it seems like she can't control it and just does it. Sometimes I know that she does it on purpose, but there's still those times in between where what she does isn't consistent with her and how she normally acts out.
I think we need some sort of support group or something, I feel like the only people who get me are those on here because they are going through it too. I feel like even my hubby doesn't understand everything and can't really help. We don't really have any good family support and friends are non-exitent around here. Our family won't even babysit, we really need the time away. Even if it is for a few hours. Oh well!
Well I should get going, Kaitlyn is grouchy.

Hey, kids can be really tough at times. Yeah, I think epileptic people get angrier easily. Som people here told me that we get angry easier and sometimes it can be because of the meds. I have a really short temper towards everything. Like sometimes, I get irritated and i just throw it at whoever talks to me or whoever is the closest to my age. I think you should give your daughter a break. Maybe tell Chris to stay away from her for awhile and don't go near her when she's grouchy. Well, I hope everything is going well for you. God bless.

I have noticed that she gets angry easier ever since the first seizure. But her brother is little, so it's hard to tell him to leave her alone. He's only 8 months old, we try to keep them apart when she's getting mad. She gets mad at him, at us, at herself. Just mad. We try hard to give her a break and not get mad at her when she is acting out, but we have to be consistent with her timeouts. It's so hard to do the right thing with her.
