What do you think of when you hear “summer camp”? Fun things, right? Games. S’mores. Bonfires and singing. Staying up late. For parents of kids with epilepsy, we think…well, feel is maybe the more accurate word…we feel anxiety. Morning and nighttime medication doses. Rescue meds (Valium to stop seizures that don’t stop on their own). When campers stay up too late, we worry about seizures, maybe in the lake while our child is swimming.
