like get the words out
from her mouth
and her brain is stuck
it eventually comes out
oh her love of reading
amazes me all the time
as my eldest child
Saraeve suffered her first
epileptic grand maul seizure
my baby ready
to be 33
we did not know she
was epileptic until
grueling turn every stone
moment in time
wondering what happened
on April 30 2003
suffered extreme headaches
dentists eye doctors ENT
her AWESOME neurologist specialty
THE BRAIN and what meds to give
to help her not have any
this sadly is not the case
19 days in NY Presbyterian Hospital
to have had a part of occipital lobe
to have permanent loss of her vision taken
she a walking inspiration
self published Poet a "Master Slammer"
going to Texas to MC the poetry event
out of her debilitating condition
it is only in the last few years
that she is living her bliss
love of reading writing and teaching
as her life came to a complete halt
permanently on a slew of meds
something that had a good percent
of hope mabe two or three
even if half
one of them Lyrica a helpful drug
for her for me her mommy a no no
having suffered horrible side affects
and in the end
and a VNS implant
so if a seizure should come one
she waves a magnet across the VNS
implant under her arm/chest
to reboot the brain
so, no relief of seizures blind in right eye
and as she suffers aura all the time now
a seizure as there are many different kinds
depending where the misfiring is happening

my sharing this very real event
not only put my daughter in a deep depression
attempted to take her life
her turmoil with God the Father
and i so understand
life changed for her on that
April day in 2002

point
any swelling certainly a no no
