Nice to meet you both! I have been married 16 1/2 years and I have one son, who is 6 and a stepdaughter who is 8. She was just recently diagnosed type 1 diabetes on 02/11. So we're dealing with that now too.

Hi Sandy WELCOME to CWE.
I am a mother with a child who is having seizures.

You might consider looking at www.dogtorj.com check out the diet for epilepsy and also under appetizers for diabetes. It is interesting reading.

Welcome Sandy. Pull up a chair and make yourself at home. As you read, Robin is already planning supper. I'll serve the coffee.

Hi Sandy, you have come to the right epileptologist web site. These epileptologist teamates are very friendly.
Hey Gergiagirl88, I hope you are not from Atlanta . The tornadoes hit downtown. If you are i hope everything is alright

I'm Meetz, & I'm 43. I've had ep for 42 years. You've found a great place to be.

WVU, I just in that wonderful state for a couple of days, & I cruised thru Ohio a couple of times, too. Sorry I didn't try to stop by, Buckeye.

Georgiagirl, you are OK, aren't you? I HOPE.

We're a friendly bunch here, although we have our weird days, too. If you need to rant, rave, talk, whatever, we'll be here.

Sandy!

I was born with this and I've
been around before dust was
invented! (Well hey, Al Gore
claims he invented the internet?)



CWE is a fun place to be as well
as a great place to find resources,
vent, and much more!

Welcome and glad to have you here!

Meetz - I hope you missed last weekend's snow storm.

20 inches of snow and 40 mph wind last Saturday. Then 55 degrees and sunny by Wednesday. Weird mid-west weather.

[Meetz1064]

I came thru on Wednesday and Friday going to and from my grandmother's funeral in WV...Friday was awfully messy with LOTS of rain......still saw a bit of snow though on Wednesday, not too much. But I LOVE snow, so I didn't really care. I was JEALOUS y'all got so much. I lived in Ohio for the first 12 years of my life.... *SIGH*

Hey wvueers,

Thanks for thinking of me and the tornadoes. I actually am from Atlanta. We are North of Atlanta. Spent several hours in our basement...but thankfully all was o.k. with our area. The damage was horrible in downtown and several other areas around metro atlanta from yesterdays round of storms. March and April are usually bad months for tornodoes. It is really a miracle more people were not killed. I think only 2 people were killed. Alot of families homes are lost /damaged though.

Thanks again!
