For my son is my hero, he braves the unknown. He will walk into the movie theater today with me today, holding my arm to keep me balanced because my vertigo is back and I tend to wobble at times but that isn't going to stop us. He will sacrifice seeing the film in IMAX or 3-D not because it is not available or not affordable but because it will make 'mommy's head hurt'. We will take the elevator even though it is less "fun". If I mess up our popcorn order because of brain damage 30 years of untreated epileptic seizures has caused he will catch it or if not. He will not complain. My son is not perfect, just as I am not perfect but together we are enjoying a day at the movies. We just do it as he calls it "our way". This also includes, his re-education on what to do if mommy has a seizure. Unfortunately the most difficult part of that is handling those who are not aware of what epilepsy is and do not know as much as a almost 10 year old boy. Hopefully IN TIME WITH EPILEPSY AWARENESS WE CAN HELP THEM ACCOMPLISH WONDERS .... and change the future of everyone with epilepsy.

What if your the mom and you have epilepsy?
Today I am going to take my almost 10 year old son to see Superman: Man Of Steel. The fact that the film is rated PG-13 is the least of my problems for my child is mature enough to handle the content of this movie.
