Hoping to hear form some of you who have raised more then one child
while you have epilepsy. My husband and I have talked extensively about
becoming foster parents and we completed our training last weekend. We
are now in the process of filling out a mound of paperwork.
My seizures are mostly under control. Over 2 years post surgical and I
have one minor partial complex or simple partial seizure a week on
average. None of them cause automations any more, which were horrid
before surgery. I am still on trileptal. I do have some other things
going on, like intermittent pain dependent upon how much I do
physically. I am on Lyrica for this and mostly I live with it and work
around it.
We have one 9 year old boy who is totally on board with this.
I have wanted to do this for years, and my husband is completely in
agreement. The one thing that concerns me is how it might effect my
health. I have thought and thought about this and can't really think of
any major down sides, only minor ones.
Any thoughts form any of you who have raised your kids since being
diagnosed?
