Seizure First Aid

As part of my goal to raise awareness of epilepsy, I wanted to put a little post together about Seizure First Aid.

I realized that a lot of folks might not be aware of what to do in the event that the person next to them has a seizure. Very often people have seizures even though they have not been diagnosed with epilepsy. In fact, I've know two people in my life to suffer from postpartum related seizures.

You never know when you might need that knowledge! thanks to everyone who takes the time to read this! :-)
