I am inspired by the many people I have met that live with epilepsy with such resolve. You are so right - our lives will be what we make of them!Trish Hughes Kreishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04995070221130924508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3821611713908924761.post-16119340878571482972011-12-06T14:17:36.457-08:002011-12-06T14:17:36.457-08:00I am again reminded of someone else's strength...I am again reminded of someone else's strength and positive outlook on life even with the rollercoaster ride called epilepsy. and I am once again more appreciative of the many things my 28-year old daughter can do, in spite of her epilepsy, which is fairly well controlled be her medication. I am in awe of people like yourself, who "choose happy" and manage to make that their motto. I feel bad because at times because I wish for "freedom" - but then I realize that even though she may be with my husband and I for many years in the future, our live will be what we make it. thank you again for beingg such an inspiration.Melindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3821611713908924761.post-38929392147052495632011-12-03T18:19:02.593-08:002011-12-03T18:19:02.593-08:00Linda, You are very welcome.

Thank you for telling our families...Hi Trish...<br /><br />Thank you for telling our families' story. After re-reading the last sentence, I should like to add, (which I failed to do originally) that even tho after 40 years of getting worn down mentally and physically , I can look up from whatever I may be doing, and see Jason looking at me with a smile, usually, and I think, by golly, I really have no reason to complain, or throw a "pity party". Jason is still smiling and still with us after 40 years of seizures!...:-)...Something I need to remind myself of more often. <br /><br />When I read what you wrote about your parents, I literally got chills, since I know that feeling of visiting Doctors and coming home without many answers over the years. But as a parent, you continue to hope, to travel where you have to, and find any answer you can to help your child, no matter how many times you come back home "defeated".<br /><br />I would love to have been in that class when Robert was "educating"...:-):-):-)...Jason was the first student to go thru our school system with Epilepsy. He too "educated" many teachers and students for all of his years in school. It was a bumpy ride for all involved, but we all came out the better for it in the end. <br /><br />I too continue to look forward to your Blog and how Robert and your family are doing on this journey. <br /><br />Thank You again for reaching out to me in such a gracious and kind way...I appreciate it more than I can find words for...:-)<br /><br />LindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
