Hello Everyone,
This post is a bit different from normal. As you know, my brother in-law Robert has had epilepsy since birth and has always said that he’s here to campaign to let everyone he meets know something about this epilepsy. My wife, Trish has made it her drive in life to help him reach his goal by produce a documentary about Robert and epilepsy to hopefully give guidance to other parents, adults and kids with stories, tips, site to look at for possible aid and on how to deal with not only epilepsy but those around you when a seizure occurs and clear up any false knowledge people may have about it. Her website address is RobertsSister.com. With that said, November happens to be, “Epilepsy Awareness Month” and Trish has decided that this is the perfect time to start her video campaign. Below is a post she recently put up on her site which I would like to share with you;
