My kids are 4 & 6 years old and since January they have seen 3 of my TC seizures, the first two being nocturnal, which scared the hell out of them because they thought o had turned into a zombie. The last being a daytime one, where there was a lot of blood again with the scary sounds.
They both thought i was dying with the first two, this third one my eldest thought "i was going to have a baby come out of my tummy" (hehehe pretty funny) but the little one thought i was dying again. We have tried to explain it to them, but any advice and ideas as to what i can say to them i would reeeeeally appreciate!!
My husband struggles with it a lot too, and now that my nocturnal seizures have turned to daytimee ones, he is really out of it as well (because we basically solved it by sleeping separately, him with the tv on in his room so he couldnt hear it as much when they happened and me not falling asleep infront of the tv or anything) because even like that he was out of it after a NOCTURNAL for a good 2 weeks, sweaty palms, high blood pressure, really pale constantly!
So i cant imagine what they must be going through now!
Please help me with any ideas, experience, advice, links ANYTHING that could help them!!!
Thank you ahead of time!
