No one should walk through epilepsy alone. Because of EFMN, my family is no longer alone in our epilepsy walk.
Cody was diagnosed with epilepsy October 23, 2014. It's a date I will always remember, like a birthday except there was no joy or celebrating that day. We have had a long seven-year journey since then. We were told at the time it could be done in two years if we could keep him seizure free. Nothing we did kept him seizure free. Seven years has provided corrected diagnoses, many more seizures, and the reality that this likely won't ever be "done." This will be Cody's journey throughout his life.
EFMN has provided compassion, resources, and connections that gave us the strength to keep going. We are forever grateful to them and will support them however we can, even if Cody were miraculously healed of epilepsy tomorrow. We will support them because there will always be someone else diagnosed with this very poorly understood disorder (really group of disorders), and I don't ever want anyone else to go through this alone.
