Summary: Best source of information for parents!
Comment: My 2 year old is not diagnosed with epilepsy, however has had many febrile seizures. Some may not have been febrile.
This book has been a major comfort and complete source of information. I wasn't even sure what questions to ask and this covers everything in great detail and in an easy to use fashion. I like the Q&A style so I can skip right to the issues that pertain to our situation. This book covers every type of childhood seizure, not just epilepsy. It discusses the different tests and treatments and drugs in great detail and candor. It explains risks and benefits. I simply would be lost and alone if it weren't for this comforting guide. I am thankful this book is around for my family.

Summary: Get this book, very informative, comforting, a must read!
Comment: This book contains the answers to most, if not all, of your questions regarding how seizures and epilepsy will affect your child and family. It will also help you know which questions to ask your child's physicians. It is a most complete work. In five sections it describes why seizures occur, diagnosing, treating, coping, and living with epilepsy. Please do yourself a great favor and purchase this book. It is written in language a parent will understand without previous medical knowledge and also it is written with compassion and optimism. I have recommended this book to my family and friends who wish to understand more of how epilepsy is affecting my son's life. You won't be disappointed, buy it today!

Summary: If your child has a seizure, you MUST have this book!!!
Comment: I can't begin to describe the grief and fear and utter isolation I felt when my daughter had her second seizure. I remembered that knowledge is power, and I needed to feel powerful. This book gave that to me and so much more! Suddenly terms made sense and I wasn't alone anymore. The section on family coping is amazing: it's as though the authors have reached inside your mind and put down every emotion you've gone through and some that are yet to come. There are case examples throughout that are uplifting, and yes, sometimes a little frightening, but very helpful to read and very enlightening. Most importantly, the book is positive throughout without minimizing what you're dealing with. My only complaint(and this goes for all books, websites, etc) is the use of percentages to illustrate how uncommon different seizure types are, or how many kids outgrow, etc. We already know our kids beat the odds, we don't need to be reminded, and frankly those numbers that in the beginning were a comfort, now are depressing. Again, if a child in your family has seizures, YOU MUST HAVE THIS BOOK!!!
