Six years ago, before my sweet baby girl had her first seizure, I would have told you that I understood epilepsy.
But… boy would I have been wrong.
I was a trained nurse.
I could have shared the textbook definition of a seizure, how to appropriately respond, and may have even rattled off a few anticonvulsants to seal the deal.
I might have regurgitated that epilepsy is a disorder in which a person experiences recurrent seizures.
But… I didn’t really understand epilepsy.
