looking for loving family

My husband of three years (we have known each other for five years) has had epilepsy since he was born. Doctors were able to stop them when he was an infant but in 2009 he was in two bad car accident he was tested and found his epelipsy was back. He was honest about his condition when we met five years ago and I said it didn't bother me because we had discovered so much in common. I felt I finally found the man I had prayed for my whole life. He has been diagnosed with complex partial epilepsy and has had several attacks since we met. He's even had a device called a VNS (Vatal Nerve Stimular) implant that's like a pacemaker for people with epilepsy. All that has helped but this past weekend he had several attacks and was admitted into the hospital. He's seems stabilized now and has been released but I got really scared and started question if I can handle this, which scared me. I do love my husband and don't want to see an end to my marriage. My aunt suggested I try to find an online support group so I thought I would try here first, I am just looking to see if there are any good online support groups for spouses or trying to find some people to chat with who can help me and who understand what I am going through. I know I can't be the only one who struggles or questions [url=http://printershelps.com/canon-support]Canon Support number UK[/url] Canon Support number UK

Hello ! I am so sorry you are going through this. I would love to connect and try and support each other. My fiance also had 2 car accidents and TBI's which lead to the diagnosis of E. He has simple complete seizures that are not controlled by meds. "Luckily" he has one every 10-14 days, but they can sometimes be multiple per day, we never really know. Its SUCH a hard condition to have AND to live with. I would love a support team as well. Same goes for you  @Haley Cox
