Sometimes I get so wrapped up in trying to help Brandon navigate thru his life with Autism I forget he is also dealing with another challenge, Epilepsy. I hit me tonight as we got close to bed time, I was getting his vitamins and meds ready. Brandon has be on anti-seizure medication since he was 3 years old. His meds were just increased in the past 6 months because he is growing so fast so he needed more to keep the seizures under control. He has not had any in sometime and honestly I hope I never witness one of them again. I must say if I could pick one of the challenges Brandon has to eliminate, I would pick Epilepsy. He can live with Autism, Epilepsy has the potential to cause him severe injury or kill him. I guess this is why I choose to forget that he has Epilepsy.
