@empowering.epilepsy for the first time today with my Trev. For those of you who don’t know yet, my oldest son developed juvenile myoclonic epilepsy at 13. This means he suffers from an array of seizures which are triggered by many different things. The worst, scariest, and most frequent are his grand mal seizures. But today, we tried and really enjoyed art therapy!
If you’re like me, you’ve fought with dr after dr for an answer but there never seems to be one. If you have a child with epilepsy, I Strongly Encourage you to work with Ms Lee, the founder of Empowering epilepsy, to learn the language of epilepsy, so you know the questions to ask, and how to better advocate for your child’s needs in and out of school/work. She gave us so much information and a safe place where he now sees he’s not alone, and I felt like I’ve found a haven after 3 yrs of advocating alone. I’m no longer fighting for him alone!
