Seizures Stole His Yesterdays

My mom has recently been diagnosed with epilepsy. She has had 2 grand mal seizures that were terrifying. The most recent one resulted in a fall onto the coffee table and she currently has a compression fracture in her back from that fall. She's lost her drivers license, is scared to be home alone, and is just miserable. It's been a terrifying ordeal for her. The docs say she's had it her whole life and just never knew it - no idea why the seizures have suddenly become so severe, but it is frightening. She does have some memory loss, but it's limited to the time right before, during, and after the seizures. I'm praying that medications will help her to control her seizures. :-(

My father had brain surgery a few years ago which resulted in epilepsy. He has memory problems but doesn't recognize it. It's very difficult for everyone.
