Husband with epilepsy

Sun, 12/13/2015 - 21:57
My husband was diagnosed in August with epilepsy. It has definitely changed our lives. We found out in September that we was expecting. He has had 4 seizures this year I know this doesn't seem like many for some but it scares us to death. He is on medication to help keep them under control. He has now become scared to even hold the baby when it gets here in April or even be alone with the baby. I don't know what to do to help him stay positive. Any help would be greatly appreciated we are new to epilepsy and we will be new parents soon.
