hey everyone, my husband Pete was just recently diagnosed with epilepsy. He is 32 years old and have never had a seizure until last Last week on Wednesday morning Pete suffered a seizure in his sleep. To say it was one of the most scariest moments of my life, would be an understatement.
I had to give my husband CPR as he stopped breathe and was rushed to hospital. We were sent home later that day with 0 medication and I just had this really bad gutt feeling something was off. My husband has never had a seizure in his life and for the 11 years we have been together, has never experienced one.
Early the next day on the Thursday morning, my Husband suffered from his second seizure.
He was taken to a different hospital, which diagnosed him with frontal lobe epilepsy due to constant knocks/damage to the front of your brain.
This can happen from high contact sports and this is the case for my husband.
He hit his head on a tree branch earlier that Wednesday, and that was what set off his epilepsy and now it will never go away.
He is now on medication, has to see a neurologist twice a month and be on medication for the life.
We have been informed that my husband will not be able to work anymore, which means he has to close down his company, I also now have to be his full time caregiver which means I also have to give up my job.
Being vulnerable and asking for help is something we both struggle with. We don’t have family to lean on and it’s always just been us. We need help to tie us over until government funding can be approved which will take over 13 weeks and we have a mortgage, food, bills and all the regular things we sometimes take for granted.
Thank you all for reading this. We are forever grateful for the community around us.

yours sincerely Sarah and Pete
