It is a lot of personal experience as we both have had a good life of seizures daughter, grandson and even
worked for 15yrs with a lot of those who have seizures, epilepsy or for some conditions are given the seizure
medication for help.
Have had trouble getting into it to do any updates which there are but was a pleasure to be able to do. Keep
telling myself am sure could write a book..:(smile:) and am sure everyone could. Keeping that diary is a
story in itself and so important.
Hope all is doing well.
Hope you are doing good Millie...take care.

You have one of the best websites that you put at the end of all your
