Yes you have a lot in your life, a lot on your plate. But watching your child seize, dealing with the meds and hospitals and ERs and side-effects is what else is on your plate. My youngest has asthma and excema. My ketokid has seizures, obviously, and it mentally challenged. I have MS. had a cluster of seizures which put her in hospital for two weeks when I was eight months pregnant with my youngest and another similar cluster when the baby was only six weeks old. What the time entails becomes easy by comparision (when its works) to life without it. Just something to think about. All the best with whatever you decide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
