SUDEP

Sudden Unexpected Death In Epilepsy


Today I feel the need to spread some awareness about SUDEP and Epilepsy. My sweet handsome amazing nephew Dylan AKA Superman passed away due to SUDEP because he had epilepsy. He was only 17 years old. It happened in his sleep on April 24, 2020. We all miss him and love him so much. He was our always smiling ray of sunshine. So I want to help educate people and spread information about this horrible monster that is taking people's lives.

When you are living with epilepsy the risk for SUDEP is a real and very big concern. Some studies state that there are 1.16 cases for every 1000 people with epilepsy each year. That is a lot of people this monster takes each year. We need to find a cure for epilepsy so there will be no more chances of SUDEP. There is always hope for a cure.

Most cases of SUDEP occur while having a seizure or right after a seizure. So please avoid seizure triggers if you can. Some seizure triggers include, not enough sleep, too much alcohol, flashing lights, forgetting your medications, and stress. The exact cause of SUDEP is not known, but if we all can help  spread awareness about this awful and cruel thing taking our family members lives from us we may be able to find that cause. Tell your doctor about SUDEP because they may be unaware not everyone knows about this. 

These are some great sites to find out information about SUDEP and Epilepsy. Please share them with anyone and everyone. 


Praying for all families who have lost a loved one due to epilepsy or SUDEP or who is fighting epilepsy now or in the future. You are all warriors. Keep on fighting and fight for a cure!! 


My Beautiful sister and brother-in-law with
their son Dylan! My handsome nephew.

Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil Review : If you like Coconut Oil then you are sure to love this Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil. It is simply amazing and it cooks perfectly.   32oz of yumminess in a glass jar. I was really impressed with this coconut oil. It made my fried chicken tenders so delicious and very tasty. The tenders were golden brown and just the right crispyness. I sat them on the table and they were gone in a minute and I don't even eat meat. Everyone else in the family really loved them. The Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil is also good for cooking veggies and lots of other recipes.     Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is made from organic, fresh coconuts in rural areas of the Philippines. They use only the highest quality organic coconuts which are hand selected and the pure coconut water from inside the coconut is used to extract the coconut milk using methods that the small scale family businesses use to produce t

I decided to use a few of the free coupons to try one box of their totally natural waffles and one box of their chocolate chip waffles. I didn't get to try their english muffins yet because the store that I shop at doesn't carry them right now, but they told me that they would be selling the Van's english muffins in the near future. Van's Totally Natural Waffles are little in size but have a big taste. There are 32 mini waffles in each box; 8 sets of 4. They have an excellent source of calcium and no artificial flavors or colors. They do not contain any high fructose corn syrup. They are all natural and very tasty.
