Hi, how is everyone today? I signed on here quite some time ago just to educate myself, now it seems that life is taking a sharp left turn for my family. My fiance has epilepsy. He has done nothing about it most of his life, being a simple country boy growing up he never really even knew what his epilepsy was, the doctors just said "You have epilepsy, that means you will have seizures". He has recently (July 2011) been having more frequent Grand maul seizures (not sure if that is even spelled right), they changed from once or twice a year at night, usually sleeping, to a few a month, during the day. So we start our journey with doctors, neurologists, MRI's, therapists and such.
I am feeling a little intimidated by the situation, we just moved in together and are now being told he can not work, which is awful news for us with 4 children to raise between the 2 of us. I love him with all my heart and have no ideas of going anywhere. I am just so scared, for him and our family, but I have hiked up my socks and put on clean underwear, I know this will be hard, but I am here to support and carry him whenever needs be.
Guess I am just wondering, now what do I do, what can I do??
