He has a bunch of issues, liver issues, lactose intolerant, mostly deaf, little motor control etc. For example he's about to turn 13 but can't use bathroom alone and still watches shows like team umizoomie and blues clues.

    My mother is mostly recovered, she says it's still stiff sometimes but that's it.

    Still working on the kid, he has like 7 doctors and takes a pharmacy of drugs per day but it's only partially effective.

    He has bad epilepsy so seizures are kinda a normal occurrence. He takes 4 medicines in morning, 1 mid day, 5 in the evening and 1 before bed but most days it's about 25% chance of if hell have a seizure. Really only get concerned if it's over 5 in a day....

    My kid is Non-verbal autistic with epilepsy. One day he had an appointment with his neurologist. We are walking down the apartment stairs, mother in front I'm behind. He goes into a seizure. I catch him and hold his head between my legs so he doesn't hit his head on the cement steps.

    Suddenly my phone rings, it's my sister. We are not no-contact but rarely talk so it must be important so I answer. Her first words as I'm holding a child actively seizing between my legs were "hey, so mom broke her neck"...

    This almost happened to me. Back in 2006 I didn't have a license and relied on my mother to get to and from work. She got off her work an hour after me and was about 30 minutes away so I had atleast an hour and half to kill everyday.

    I would walk to best buy about 5 minutes from my job and walk around. If people looked confused or were looking for a employee I would help. One month I had the manager approach me and he told me I got enough recognition at the check out that I qualified for employee of the month. The issue was I was not a employee. He gave me an offer but it was 3 dollars less an hour then I was getting at my real job so I turned it down.
