Making them is all that's needed to set your intention, it seems to me -- then the Universe is afoot from there. Live life with intention (like being a more-than-excellent-and-flexible parent) and the rest will unfold. Praying is good, too. My 2¢. … and who said sticking with a plan is the mark of a grown up?

Then, if the shit hits the middle-aged fan, you can always read in The Prophet that they were never really yours after all.

]]> Comment on My Daughters Unprovoked Seizure by Matt Lawrence http://www.thepoppa.com/2011/07/my-daughters-unprovoked-seizure/#comment-548 Matt Lawrence Wed, 10 Aug 2011 22:27:57 +0000 http://www.thepoppa.com/?p=1379#comment-548 Thank you Lara. I was told by the neurologists at Children's that the "free seizure" thing went up to about 15, which comports with other searches I have done on the topic. But I don't know what that means post puberty - maybe it's that a post puberty seizure is not necessarily unprovoked, and may mean that because the person experienced a seizure that there is indeed some kind of medical issue. Thank you Lara.

Someone experiencing the horror you just experienced is going to stumble upon this during a Google search and thank you for being the guardian angel that you are for taking the time to post this. One question, not sure if you can answer this -- is the "one free seizure" end at a certain age? Is this a good cheat sheet for parents of children under a particular age? If someone has an unprovoked seizure post-puberty, is there more cause for concern? Thank you for sharing this, Matt.
