This book is organized so that you can go to the information that you need when you need it, returning for updates as your child grows and new issues emerge. In her 20 years of working with children with epilepsy, Dr. Blackburn has been continually impressed by the fact that no two children with epilepsy are the same. Each child and each family has unique needs. Because of this, she works with a team. The unique talents of each team member let the group meet the unique needs of each patient. This book will help you build the resource team for your child. In addition to providing you with basic tools, the book identifies resources, places you can contact, additional materials you can read, and the kinds of professionals that may be in your community to help you and your child. Every parent is busy, and parents of children with epilepsy may be evenbusier than most. This book has been organized with the busy parent in mind. The first four chapters are a "must read" for every parent. Theyprovide the basic tools for understanding epilepsy, behavior management and school programming. The final chapter summarizes parenting of a child with epilepsy, providing an easy to remember checklist. Issues for parenting a toddler with epilepsy are far different than issuesfor parenting an adolescent. You can go to the information that you need,when you need it, returning to the book for an update as your child grows and new issues emerge.

Childhood epilepsy may provide speed-bumps in the road to adulthood, but it does not have to be a barricade. For 20 years, Dr. Blackburn has helped parents negotiate the speed bumps, creating an owner's manual for their child. Now, she helps you make this journey.

Maternal Perceptions About Parenting A Child Affected By Catastrophic Epilepsy written by Chastity L. Case and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2012 with Epileptic children categories.
This qualitative study explored the maternal perceptions of life with a child affected by catastrophic epilepsy, which is a severe form of childhood epilepsy that includes difficult-to- control seizure activity, intellectual disability, other developmental disabilities, and a poor prognosis. Limited qualitative research exists regarding the lived experience and meaning of maternal caregiving for children with this stigmatized, severely debilitating condition. This hermeneutic phenomenological study informed by van Manen (1990) involved two audio-recorded, in-depth interviews with each of five participants who were the biological mothers of children with a catastrophic form of epilepsy. The essence of the study's findings was one of maternal commitment to a beloved child in a seizure-centered life. The themes that emerged from the data shared by study participants were: "A Child with Catastrophic Epilepsy: `Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop, '" as a response to their child's daily, unpredictable, and potentially life threatening seizure activity; "Mobilizing resources: A Constant Preoccupation and Effort," to meet their child's complex needs; "Providing Care: An Often Overwhelming Responsibility," due to the intensive organization and provision of intensive, on-going physical and psychosocial care; "Effects of Care on Caregiving Parents: `Confined to a Helpless Situation, '" from which neither they nor their children could escape and over which they had little control; and "Caregiver Coping: Celebrating the Child While Mourning the Losses." Mothers who participated in this study deeply loved and admired their children and found joy, meaning, and purpose in their experience as their child's primary caregiver despite the many challenges that such caregiving presented, The theory of ambiguous loss (Boss, 2006, 2010) provides insight into a unique kind of loss that reflects a response to someone who is physically present but psychologically absent as exemplified by children with catastrophic epilepsy who were described by their parents in this study. The parental experience that may have reflected ambiguous loss in this study complicates both grief and relationships and prevents closure in response to the loss. Participants in this study, however, engaged in behaviors that were consistent to varying degrees with guidelines proposed by Boss that contributed to their ability to cope with the ambiguous loss they may experience. Children with catastrophic epilepsy present with complex health issues that are challenging and sometimes life-threatening. Caregivers are challenged by an overloaded healthcare system where busy health care providers care for typically developing children as well as those with special needs. Parents of children with catastrophic epilepsy face particular challenges in addressing their children's health-related needs due, in part, to the frequency with which they require provider assistance, including informed responses to their questions and concerns about their child. Research is warranted to investigate health care provision alternatives such as palliative care that would involve parents as respected partners in health care planning and decision-making.
