How would you want support

Mon, 12/14/2015 - 17:18
My best friends 3 year old was diagnosed 18 months ago. Originally her meds worked but caused serious side effects so a few months ago they started trying new meds. It has been hell for mom and toddler. My friend is really struggling coping and is withdrawing from everyone. I'm looking for a way to help her or support her. I know I can't change what they are going through but I just wish there was something I could do to give her a break for a few hours. What kind of things would you as parents of children with epilepsy like?
