Husband just started having seizures. Scared and need help!

Sun, 05/29/2016 - 19:52
My husband just had his first seizure last week. It was bad. My sister is epileptic, so I have grown up around seizures my first entire life. His was the worst I have ever seen. He bit through his tongue and everything. During the episode, he seized so hard he crippled his back and can barely walk. I have set up a fundraiser to raise money for his physical therapy and his assistive devices that we can't afford. Thus fundraiser is on GoFundMe. If anyone could help, please go to gofundme.com/268cr75g and read his story in detail. We are ever gracious for every donation. Every dollar counts, so thank you all in advance. If anyone knows where I could go for help, or could share the link for me, I would much appreciate it. Lauren Alexander
