This is the first episode of the SeizureCare podcast with Dr Chiggy. As a mother of a child diagnosed with Infantile spasms, I understand the limitations experienced by the child, as well as the challenges experienced by the parent(s). And both can take a great toll on the parents. Regardless of the prevailing limitations and challenges, a mother must have a strong resolve and determination to believe that a normal, balanced and productive life is possible for her child. Bearing in mind that the child will continue in that state of disability unless someone insists on interventions that can help change the outcome of the disorder to a more favourable one.

Just a brief background story behind my passion for starting up conversations and building a community around seizures, convulsions and epilepsy in children. I also tell my audience that children that are challenged by siezures and it's complications go through peculiar challenges that no one was willing to talk about.
