Helping My Sister

Sun, 08/10/2014 - 20:20

Hi my name is Kate and my sister started having partial seizures that spread back in March.  Despite numerous trips to the doctors, testing, and medication changes she still is experiencing episodes.  I feel so helpless that I can't help her get better and feel like herself again.  What is the best way I can support her, without babying her or becoming too overprotective?  Any feedback or advice would be appreciated.  Thanks
