Note: All holidays are important however I would like to make a separate toot simply because this holiday hits home for me as My youngest son has this.
It is International Epilepsy Day today.
I will always remember the very first time I found my son when he had his first grand mal seizure. I found him with his head stuck in the bathroom trash bucket because he fell forward into it and I had to pull it off him. my son is almost twice my size so not easy to move around.

The second time was when I learned that it never gets any easier watching him have them. He had been walking on the sidewalk with some friends and collapsed face first and the ambulance came and took him to the hospital. when I got there he simply continually had seizure after seizure. It frightened me like nothing ever before.
Luckily today he has been seizure free(meds) for the most part with occasion of some maybe in his sleep-which is I guess minimizes falling accidents. β€οΈ
