"Seeing my child have a seizure breaks my heart. In the beginning, I thought it was the end…every time. I can’t stop them from happening but please help us cope with the fear.
Lilly’s seizures can happen anywhere - on the way to the park, in the car, even just from getting too excited or too tired. If her routine changes, she can have a seizure.
As her mum, it breaks my heart."
You can help turn fear into hope
"I will never forget Lilly’s first seizure for as long as I live.
We were in the kitchen - I was doing the washing and Lilly was chatting away like toddlers do — and then suddenly she went quiet. I turned around and she was lying on the floor. She wasn’t breathing. She was grey. Her eyes were fixed.
I screamed for my partner, Dean. He started CPR while I called for an ambulance. I’m convinced Lilly died that day and I believe Dean brought her back.”
Laura – Lilly’s mum
