video to explain to kids?

Mon, 08/23/2004 - 09:52
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
