Joseph started having seizures when he was just 5 weeks old. Eventually totalling between 50-70 per day. He started medication which brought the number down to single figures until we introduced him onto a keto diet thanks to The Daisy Garland and the dietitian and nurses at the Children’s Hospital. He then had his first seizure free day in 7 months at 8 months old. He had had all sorts of blood tests, EEG’s, ECG’s, Lumbar punctures and everything else all before he had even turned 1.

He’s an absolute little hero and we are learning more about him and the condition as time goes by. He continues to surprise us on a daily basis and is the funniest, loving and cheeky little boy!

1 in 100 people in the UK have epilepsy. 65,000,000 people worldwide.

Epilepsy affects people in different ways and there are a number of different types of seizures. It is something I knew next to nothing about before Joseph started having seizures and I just thought it was affected by flashing lights because of the warnings at the start of TV programmes or films. I still don’t know everything and not sure I ever will but always willing to learn more to support him 💜

Please help us raising funds for The Daisy Garland so they can offer families in need of night time monitors so their babies can go to sleep safely. Natalia Piedra Rodriguez
