video to explain to kids?

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

thanks for posting it! are you using the same technique that kayakmom is using? i'm working on an apple, so sometimes that makes things a little different from a PC... i didn't try coming in through a different browser, sometimes that helps.. i just used safari... maybe IE or netscape will give diffferent options... i very much appreciate you posting the link, but i also very much want to figure out how to do it myself... on the old harborview board you had to do the html bit, but that board is now closed, and it's been so long that i don't remember how to do it... that was never my "home" board so i didn't do it that often... thanks again.

Thank you all for your tips!!!  I knew I was going to the right place.

The past few days I was going nuts trying to remember how to log on again, and when I couldn't, I tried to get a new password and kept goofing up all this time.  Boy I guess my next post will be "SO now what do I do about my brain function and memory disappearing?"

Thanks everyone for the help.

Karen?

If the above happens,then you just post again, and I'm certain that any and all help that can be given will be for you.We might not be able to provide a new brain,but can help and support through difficult times in whatever situation arises.

These things happen and you have been through it.Nobody I'm sure expects you to be superwoman right now.We can all have those no-brainer moments.
