Help needed for studying

Thu, 11/04/2004 - 12:51
I am a grandmother of 56 who has just returned to studying after a lapse of 38 years. I am studying online with the USA and as part of a research assignment I have been asked to join a newsgroup in order to get feedback. Unfortunately my computer crashed and I've only got it repaired so I need a response urgently as my assignment has to be in by Sunday the lastest. My grandson of nearly 6 has recently been diagnosed with epilepsy, so besides seeking your input regarding my assignment which is "how the family cope with childhood epilsepy and adolescence", I am genuinely interested in this topic as it concerns us as a family.My grandson is the youngest of 3 boys and the middle child of almost 13 has problems believing he is epileptic, as does the father, who my daughter divorced 18 months ago. The oldest brother gets on extremely well with him but at times gets slightly jealous of the attention he receives. My grandson also is ADHD so really the problems are double.I look forward to hearing from you ASAP.Thanks in advanceBarbie

Thank you for getting back to me so promptly. I will try the websites you suggested but I would still like to continue with this as a source of helping my daughter and grandchildren.
