Seizure free

I used to worry about the next seizure till I taught myself to celebrate the seizure free moments.

One day, two day, One week, two week, one month and so on Celebrate every moment. Before you know it you are celebrating the longest you have had seizure free, yes I know sometimes it wont we long maybe at first only a few hours even but slowly as you get to make progress you will get more and more to celebrate.

It gives you more to become grateful for, it helps you reduces stress, it helps you be in the mind set of looking for more to celebrate like a good nights sleep seizure free, some time out at an event seizure free, doing anything with out worrying about the next seizure.

This is not to say another one will not happen and that you don't have to be aware that they might of course this is true but celebrate the time that is seizure free.

For us this summer Matt has had more seizures then normal for the summer time which is usually very few seizures caused by many things like heat, his low blood sugar, the smoke from the forest fires and of course other things like stress, loss, emotional pain from Aunt Mary's passing all will cause extra seizures, so many more seizures so many different types of them as well and yes we could worry about it, yes we can stress over all the changes or we can choose to celebrate the moments he is seizure free, like the time we got to go to a park and meet with Tegan and Josh and he had a seizure free day, or the time's we were able to go and help my mom with her yard and he was seizure free while I was able to help her out, or the time we were able to go to my brothers wedding and Matt was seizure free, Or the hikes we were able to take because he was seizure free, or the three weeks Matt was seizure free this summer, yes there is many things we can celebrate, many things we have been able to do this summer on the times he was seizure free.

So begin celebrating every day, begin hourly and see how it goes it sure makes for a way better mood.
