Cameron, Seizures and everything in between

As if the passing of Cameron Boyce wasn’t hard enough on my youngest daughter. It brought up a painful reminder for my oldest daughter. Part of having a brain tumor with 19 surgeries makes me suffer from seizures as well. I read that he had roommates. I pray they find peace with his passing and they never had to watch him have a seizure. As my daughter would tell you, “it is scary asf”.  People now are becoming aware of his medical condition and how he suffered from epilepsy. My oldest daughter watched me have a seizure once and it scared the mess out of her. Due do my brain tumor, 2 VP Shunts, hydrocephalus, and 19 brain surgeries I now suffer from seizures also. My daughter had to call the paramedics after I had one. I had no memory of it. I just remember we were getting ready to sit down and watch a movie, Ironically it was “Death at a Funeral” and the next thing I knew paramedics were standing over me asking my name and poking me. They were telling me I fell out and had a seizure but that didn’t make any sense to me. Once at the hospital they reminded me I have had seizures inside the hospital after surgery. That was my last seizure. I HATE that I scared my daughter that way. I didn’t like that I couldn’t remember. I hope his death brings as much awareness as his life brought happiness. 💛
