Highly Recommend

Hey parents, Here is a book which I found referenced to on this site (sorry I can't remember who brought it up or I'd give them the credit!)--I've read most of it, and I have been greatly encouraged! Ever since our daughter's seizure almost 2 months ago, and especially since our appointment with our neurologist (who provided NO help other than a prescription), we have been lost in a sea of confusion about terms and medications and tests we don't understand. We've been second-guessing everything our daughter does/doesn't do, over-analyzing all situations, and just plain emotionally worn out. This book has given much information and great comfort. I wish our doctor had referred us to it the minute he declared Karissa as having a seizure disorder. Hope it helps you, too! Seizures and Epilepsy in Childhood: A guide, 3rd edition, by: John Freeman, MD; Eileen Vining, MD; Diana Pillas (2002) Just FYI: we've started Karissa on Trileptal, and sofar no side effects. I don't know if they'll appear as she increases her dosage, but for now we're grateful that our prayers are being answered. Thanks to all for all your encouragement! Hang in there!
