I was looking at other families blogs. Blogs of people/families dealing with epilepsy
and I noticed a lot of them had gone silent.
Like mine.
As the waters calm you do "enjoy the silence."
It's not that epilepsy left our lives or that something awful happened.
Cause, like me, I am sure people worry about that when
these blogs go silent.
The truth is,
life has been great. Everyone is healthy and busy.
Arthur has been seizure free for almost 4YEARS!!
(knock on wood)
I was reading over this blog and it's crazy how rough
things were in the beginning. I can feel my
stress and despair reading my own words.
It did get better. It still is better.
I don't have the heaviness on my heart I did years ago
Do I still worry? Of course, that never stops.
Is Arthur still on meds? Yes, lots.
But he is like any other 16yr old, otherwise.
Busy with school and after school activities.
We have learned what the "new normal" truly means.
Epilepsy is just a part of our life. We take the precautions.
Even though Arthur is great about taking his meds, we still make sure he does.
There is still a large pill box with everything he takes.
There is still many trips to the pharmacy a month
There are still emergency meds
There are still yearly visits
But life is good, really good
