It's Epilepsy Awareness Month

Have you been wearing purple this month? I hope so! November is Epilepsy Awareness Month and we are trying to educate as many people as we can about epilepsy. YOU can help us!

Get Seizure First Aid Ready!! Take a quick 30 minute on-demand training course from the Epilepsy Foundation. Learn how to recognize a seizure and what to do if someone around you has a seizure. https://learn.epilepsy.com/courses/seizure-first-aid-ready-ondemand

If you invest the short 30 minutes to do the training, PLEASE let us know and share it with your friends and family as well. You might just help save a life! We would LOVE to help educate all our family and friends during this awareness month.  

I took the course just to see what it was like. It's a great resource to help you learn what to do. I guarantee you will learn a lot!

 

Since it is Epilepsy Awareness Month we entered a little contest with the Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota. If you are a Facebook user, please click the following link and "LIKE" our picture! The picture is our family celebrating Luella's 2 years of seizure freedom back in August! Share with your friends too!

Wear your purple this month and share your photos with me on Facebook or email me! Tell everyone why YOU wear purple and help US bring more awareness to epilepsy. 

 

 In the United States, 3.4 million people live with epilepsy, and over 150,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. One in 26 people will develop epilepsy at some point in their life. Epilepsy doesn’t discriminate. It affects children and adults, men and women, and people of all races, religions, ethnic backgrounds, and social classes. While epilepsy is most often diagnosed either in childhood or after the age of 65, it can occur at any age.

 

Thanks for all your love and support!!
