@embracingecho: I hate how I look when I have seizures. 1 in 26 people have epilepsy and 1 in 12 have a seizure in their life. That’s a lot. This is an older video and I am okay. I still have seizures sometimes. You can see in this video that I have some disconjugate gaze and Strabismus in seizures from this video. I have been put in a medically induced coma multiple times due to status epilepticus. I’m doing a lot better than I was currently. I’m grateful for echo. If you want to see how he really works with seizures, this is a great example. Yes, he can give me a sequence of behaviors before a seizure. Honestly, the trained sequence of behaviors is easy work for an Aussie. What I’m most proud of is his perseverance to finish the job and his ability to understand when human help is present so he may stay out of the way or when he should help because humans aren’t aware or there. He’s not perfect of course because he’s still a dog but I can’t imagine a better working dog for me. You have no idea what having some control to know when a seizure might happen even seconds before I lose awareness, means to me. It’s everything. Thank you Echo. #EpilepsyAwareness #SeizureAlertDog #ServiceDogAtWork #SeizureResponseDog #LifeWithEpilepsy
