Topic: Family & Friends

My kids are 9 and 5. We never really told them anything about my sz cuz there was no need to. Now there is, unfortunately, as my son had the honor and privilege of watching my grand mal in public last wk. (And silly me, without my Medicalert card that day., Growwwwwwl!) I'd love to hear about a video or something for families about this. I'm sure EFA has one? Does anyone know of one? Thanx

also, take a look at the second story on this link... you aren't alone... my seizures are so surreal and have no linguistic analog, so it was extremely difficult to talk to anyone, much less my children, about what a seizure is like for me.
