rsz 2images 150x150 Explaining Epilepsy to Children

My three children still don’t comprehend what mommy has. I think it is because I don’t have massive seizures. I am thankful for that.

rsz 2images Son seeing mom have epilepsy seizureA few months ago I started having seizures. I didn’t know what was going on. They weren’t the obvious kind. They were simple to complex partial seizures and they were more deja vu than anything else. So I went to the doctor because at the time I thought I was crazy. I wanted it fixed. I was scared. I was also studying to be n OR assistant. Well when the doctors told me I was in fact having seizures I thought, “Okay, you are the crazy ones!”
