Apr 11: What is Epilepsy? Pt.1

Thought I would include daily (kinda) snippets about seizures and epilepsy. Here we go!

Most basic bit:

Epilepsy is a disorder in the brain and or central nervous system (neurological) that is marked by abrupt ongoing occurrences of sensory disturbance, convulsions, or loss of consciousness, associated with atypical electrical activity in the brain. This brain activity is abnormal, causing seizures or episodes of unusual sensations, behavior, and sometimes, loss of awareness.

It is the fourth most common disorder of the brain and affects people of any age.

Epilepsy is NOT contagious.

Weslee had a rough seizure day yesterday. Started early in the morning, and lasted until about midnight tonight when he asked me for his rescue nasal spray. 

If you have been reading here, you know he HATES that med!
