"sorry" doesn't do justice for how i feel. i hope one day sophie will find a cure for her seizures. i wish there was more i could do. <br />much love,<br />christy<br />Christy Shakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00106761191160700997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5895440453335552117.post-38782068939828100012012-08-21T21:37:36.297-04:002012-08-21T21:37:36.297-04:00When I served on the board of the Epilepsy Foundat...When I served on the board of the Epilepsy Foundation here in LA, we had a huge gala (the kind that raises a million dollars with Hollywood type folks), and we decided to show a movie that wasn't quite as heart-warming as the usual fare. We showed a child having a seizure, and there wasn't a sound in the room but some sniffling. I think it's good to show the brutality of seizures, to have witnesses to it. <br /><br />I am sorry that you and Calvin endure this. I know, exactly, what it's like. Sophie happens to have seizures almost exactly like that every single day. <br /><br />I don't know how we do it.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.com
