My mum has epilepsy ISBN: 9780952361305
Llewellyn, Karen
Published by Published by the author, 1994
An excellent, clear explanation of epilepsy. The two little girls are at first concerned about their single mum's seizures, but she explains all about what happens, about her medication and what they should do when a seizure happens. EEGs, blood tests and a CT scan are shown as procedures that can help mum, and we see how epilepsy affects the family and those around her. The booklet is very reassuring and the brightly-coloured , child-like pictures are an asset. There is a list of do's and don'ts about helping a person who has had a seizure.
