Was hoping that there might be someone out there with a similar situation as ours. Need info on options/help for single parents trying to STAY gainfully employed and be there for her My daughter is 8 years old and has struggled with seizures all of her life . She recently had th VNS implanted and we have seen some progress, however she still breaksthrough episodes that prevent me from working. I do not have any outside help from family or anyone else, any advice is much appreciated. thanks

Hugs to you and your little girl, Becky
You might try re-posting this on the child neurology forum, there are many parents there who have children with seizure disorders. |

Hi Becky! Welcome!
I'm very sorry to hear about your daughter. What area are you from? If you'd like, I can do some searching for support groups in your area. Best wishes to you. |

Hi Becky
Welcome to the forum. I am glad you found us for support. I am sorry your daughter is going thru this. How long has she had the VNS? What meds is she still on? |

Hi,
I am a single parent and my daughter has intractible E as well. I would love to talk sometime. Have you gotten FMLA? I would have lost my job a long time ago with out that protection. You can follow the link to my daughters site, my email is to the right hand side of that page, I would love to hear from you.
