Lost our son to SUDEP
Sun, 10/15/2017 - 17:10Topic: Share Your Story
Our 28yr old son passed away on Oct 3 2017. Cause of death listed as cardiac arrest due to seizure. Never Never in a million years did we think his seizures would take him from us. Eddy was born with an infarct on his brain and mild cerebral palsy , which caused him to have seizures. Non that where ever very serious or lasted long, he used marijuana to control his seizures and it worked awesome for him. But being an up standing man, he stopped smoking it because he and his fiance had just had a baby and Eddy wanted to have a better job with good ins. for his new family. He only got to share the first 3 weeks of his babies life and now he is gone. No mischievious life style, no drug addictions,all of the horrible things that go on in this world and a seizure tool our sons life. PLEASE Everyone that has seizures, or a loved one that has them be very aware SUDEP is very very real.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I am now trying my best to start a foundation in my county. My 2 year old suffers from seizures. She is my first and only child, and I never thought we would have this fight on our hands. She is a fighter, we will continue to fight for your son and everyone else. GOD BLESS.
