Hello
My 13 year old has been seizure free for onyl 4 weeks now. She was diagonosed in October 2008.
We have a pool and she has always been my water baby! Now, sadly the pool looks like trap to me. And she knows the dangers too. Our epi doc made that very clear to her. My other children are enjoying the pool and it is depressing her. It is our first time dealing with the swim issue at home- she is exempt from swimming at school.
My rule is a lifejacket, and of course, 1 to 1 supervsion until she is seizure free for a year, then I will relinquish the life jacket. This is not going over well with her and she won't go near the pool.
How do you all support your teen and keep them safe on the pool issue.
