A few months ago I came across the blog, One in Twenty Six. The blog was super fascinating to me since it is written by a pediatrician who has epilepsy. I have had many conversations with parents of kids with epilepsy but this was the first time I was able to connect with an adult who is living life and thriving despite having seizures. Of course, her history is not the same as Charlie Claire's but it is still refreshing to see that it is possible to have a wonderful life regardless of epilepsy.
Kristin and I exchanged a few emails and have talked on the phone which was super helpful to me since I was able to ask her questions that I have never really been able to ask anyone before!
The purpose of Kristin's blog is to raise epilepsy awareness by sharing stories of other people living with epilepsy. I was thrilled when she asked if she could write a post about Charlie Claire since my hope has always been to help another mom who may find herself in a situation similar to ours!
Please visit Kristin's blog and read Charlie Claire's story!
