We are officially diagnosed with Epilepsy.
Does that change anything? No! We still have the most beautiful and good natured baby. She is still as happy as can be and reaching her milestones beautifully, even before she is expected to. she still gives smile to everyone, talks, sings and enjoys walks in the park.
Does that change the way we feel about her?
YES, because if that is possible we love her even more.
Two thoughts have been chasing each other in my head:
" Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get."
" when life gives you a lemon make a lemonade."
Although it always seems that epilepsy is something that happens to other people it is a part of life and never a reason to stop living life to the fullest. It's just another reason to enjoy life even more.
My in-laws think that we should wrap Madison in a bubble and not do anything just because she might have a seizure. I refuse to think of my child as someone who is handicapped in any way. She will grow up knowing that she can do anything she can put her mind to. And when life hands her a chocolate with a sour cherry in it she will know how spit the pit out and keep trying more chocolates.
Or that lemonade is not always as sweet as we want it to be but that doesn't mean that we can't enjoy it anyway.
