Why did they say you couldn't have
children if I might ask?

It sounds like you have alot on your plate
right now! I'd say the first thing you
need to do is get some support. Even if
your daughter didn't have epilepsy...
Being a 16 year old mother is hard, as you
know. I hope for your sake and your
baby's that your parents are helping you
out.
I actaully don't have epilepsy, my husband
does though. So, I know what it's like to
be the (for lack of a better word)
observer. You will want to protect her
from everything, I know.
I really don't have much in the way of
advice, excpet to be patient with her.
When you get frustrated and tired of
dealing with it, just rememeber that she
always has to deal with it. She's
completely helpless and everything must
come from you. That might be one of the
harder things to deal with. What about
the father? Is he helping you or
involved?
