5 years since we put you in the arms of a neurosurgeon and asked the universe to help us save your sweet little life from a relentless and cruel disease. We were told there was only a 60% chance this dramatic procedure would help your epilepsy and a 0% chance it would cure you but we believed your life was in danger and we decided to do whatever it takes to give you a chance 💜 after that day we got introduced to a whole new version of epilepsy, one that responded treatment and no longer terrified us.

This year’s celebration was a quiet one because while we still believe firmly the surgery was the absolute right decision, we have had to go through some heartbreak with seizures returning after a long (2 year) absence ❤️‍🩹 but if there’s one thing we know how to do, it’s fight epilepsy, so even though we’re fighting this now very weakened version epilepsy, we feel as hopeful as we ever have before. The electric devil does stand a chance ⚡️

Congratulations Owen, you beat the odds once and you’ll do it again 💪

Hello new parent, potential parent, and especially pregnant women.

It’s me. Your worst nightmare.

And don’t worry I can’t actually hear your thoughts, but I sure as heck can FEEL them!! I see you looking at us, sneakin a peak, sending out a lil gratitude that IT’S ME and NOT YOU with a sick and disabled kid. And … now you’re now feelin like your good deeds and excellent medical/dietary/research behavior saved you from my fate - you’re absolutely WRONG but whatever helps you sleep at night.

Anyways I’ve spent years trying to make peace with this strange sensation but I still feel it every. single. time. I’m in public with Owen. Like me simply existing reminds you that it coulda been worse? Barf, I don’t like it but I’m stuck with it - and every disability mom on the planet knows this feeling 💔

Can I fix it? Probably not in this lifetime but I am putting my whole heart into sharing our experience in the hopes that my presence no longer generates fear in society but a desire to express kindness and acceptance instead. How am I doin so far?

Nothing like a couple of days of intense health issues to remind you who’s really in control here … I had one the most brutal vomit virus nights of my motherhood journey so far this week and in classic epilepsy cruelty fashion that was followed up with one the longest and worst seizures these eyes have ever seen 🙈

The thing is, I knew it was coming, I was on high alert because after 24 of no meds and no sleep, the electric devil likes to come out and play 😈 and that she did.

Everyone is recovering now, back to baseline as the say in medical mom world, but the those horrors …well, they do be persistin’ sometimes 😖

Happy Purple Day to all who celebrate and all who loathe ⚡️💜 a reminder that today we let the electric devil have it’s l...

After 2 really hard visits to Disneyland, we finally got our redemption day 😎 I’ve officially upgraded my evaluation of this place from something I will tolerate to something I find mildly agreeable 😆

Join your homeboy Owen for another episode of cultural experiences my mom forced us to do. This week’s adventure brought us to America’s most hated city Los Angeles, CA 😎🌮🐉

Just so you know, this is not actually me talking, it is satire. No one was harmed by spicy tacos by inedible confetti
