What is it about certain days for people with epilepsy?

Today Stevie has fluctuated between wide awake and fast asleep, sometimes within 5 minutes of each other!

This morning I had to get him up a bit early as I was due to give an Epilpesy Awareness lecture to the staff of a care home in Penarth who were going to get a new resident who suffers with epilepsy. He was wide awake to sleepy within seconds during the lecture and I don't think it was my delivery! Anyway the lecture went well and Stevie managed to have an absence seizure right on cue when I was talking about them. The mans timing is exquisite!

We had lunch and came home. I decided that then we would go for a walk around the marina in Swansea to give Lily the Lurcher some exercise.

AGAIN Stevie fluctuated between wide awake and fast asleep within minutes. He perked up no end when we saw his favourite secondary school teacher, Dave Heal cleaning his boat in the marina. We went aboard and had a great chat for 20 mins or so. Dave Heal was always interested in Stevie, his problems etc and Stevie naturally reacted to this interest throughout school and even now.

 

 



Porobably the most relaxed and interested he has been all day! Thanks Dave.

Back home now and waiting fro Jan to get home and then TEA! So far a strange day! I think we may have a collapse later. Not that there has been any trigger or "aura" to show but just a feeling...............
