Tomorrow is Purple Day - a global grassroots event that was formed with the intention to increase worldwide awareness of epilepsy, and to dispel common myths and fears of this neurological disorder. So I made up a purple cupcake shaker card for a friend who had her birthday earlier this week.
You can find out more about Purple Day in wikipedia and in this Youtube video the very talented young Zoe Wees' relates her personal struggle with epilepsy!
My experience of epilepsy is watching my youngest son struggling with this debilitating condition for most of his young life. Fortunately his seizures are (touch wood) pretty much under control now with a cocktail of medication. But that comes at a price, as they make him very tired and the most recently introduced medication has caused weight problems. But it's better than the alternative!
