Mom with Epilepsy

Hi! My best friend has epilepsy and is a new mom. She doesn't have access to the internet so i am posting this for her. She has JME and has petit mals a lot but sometimes she does have grand mals too. She had a grand mal at her mom's house the other day and her baby (almsot 1) ended up underneath her. She is scared now on how to keep her baby safe. She and her husband live in an apartment together, but he works the night shift and sleeps during the day. Do any moms with seizures have ideas that will help her be able to be alone with her son but also be safe. Some ideas she's thinking about are having a baby gate around hte living room so that if she does have a seizure, he stays safe inside the house. Feeding and changing him on the floor. Putting a baby monitor in the living room and bedroom so that if she does have a seizure while her husband is sleeping, he will hear it or at least her son crying. Any other ideas? Her family is wicked overprotective and wants to basically take her son away from her. The family lives about 30 minutes away so they are close if needed, but she doesn't want to have to live there obviously. 

Any suggestions are SOOOO welcome. i have seizures as well but I'm not a mom so I can't give advice the same way that many of you can. Thanks in advance!!
