Thank you, one of our daughters is 13 and has epilepsy.  She is quick to point out that there are no "epileptics"
just persons with epilepsy.   It may seem a small thing with others but to her it is who she is...a beautiful young
lady who likes to read, swim, bike, sing, do math, tease her sibs, babysit, oh, all the things that 13 yr olds do,
and she has epilepsy.   The disorder does not define who she is at all.   I know that nothing untoward was
meant by any of the posts, it just helps to be reminded.  Thanks again ~ Mary
