Morgan Perry, the Daughter of Karen Perry and her husband Shawn, a US Air Pilot, has recently endured two risky and highly invasive brain surgeries. The first procedure was a Craniotomy on April 8th where grids were placed directly on her brain and then her brain studied because of a lifetime of seizures. On April 10th, she had the second procedure, a partial Occipital Lobe- ectomy at St. Joseph’s hospital in Phoenix, Arizona at Barrow’s Neurological Institute.

Hello,

I must tell you that it has not been an easy road caring for Brian. Sometimes I do not talk about it because it is just too painful. I am sure you know about that. I have watched Brian suffer numerous broken bones, unkindness from ignorant people (especially those in the capacity to help him) and the very limited social life he has lead because he is afraid he may go out and have a seizure.

Remember- Mother's Outrank Everyone!

If you have a child with epilepsy and the drugs simply are not working, you are likely searching for answers. However, answers can be difficult to come by and that is why Arlene Martell wrote a book for mother’s who are dealing with this specific challenge.

Hi Everyone,

I'm Natalie from Australia, I live with my partner & our 2 daughters in country NSW. 5 hours away from the Children's Hospital wear our peadiatrician practice's from.

My eldest daughter Taylor is now 4.5 years old & has been diagnosed with Epilespy since she was 12 weeks old.

G.A.R.D. stands for the Glutamate/Aspartate Restricted Diet, and it’s the brainchild of John B. Symes, DVM, also known as Dogtor J. He’s a veterinarian by training and a long-time sufferer from gluten intolerance and a number of other symptoms. In trying to cure his own poor health, he discovered a diet that he believes offers great hope to people who live with a number of conditions, including epilepsy.

Several educational websites have posted a kind of epilepsy news that isn’t really news at all.

Organizations in the US and the UK are combating common myths about epilepsy.

They’re correcting common misperceptions with accurate information about epilepsy, its causes, treatment, and what it’s like to live with this condition.

Testing the YouTube functionality. It seems to be working ok, however I am having trouble centering the video on the page.

Justin and Shelby Martell are both featured in this 30-second commercial that was produced in the mid 90's.

Since that time this commercial has been played around the world thanks to the dligent efforts of Laura Yakes from The Center for Epilepsy & Seizure Education in British Columbia.

Today, my son Adam left on a very special trip to Disneyland.

Why it was so special is because it was a trip that catered to a group of special needs kids who wanted to travel as young adults without their parents! All these kids are teens and young adults who have a mental handicap of some degree.
