Description

What do you do when your five-month-old child has seizures that are only happening at night? For writer Marc Palmieri, it was hard to know whether the strained movements and odd facial expressions were a problem for his young daughter Anna, when she had been a healthy, happy baby otherwise. Ultimately, Anna was diagnosed with complex partial seizures, frontal lobe Epilepsy and was able to live a fairly normal life despite having severe epilepsy until age 11.  Join host Annette Hines in hearing the adrenaline rush of a nerve-racking, mystery pursuit for Palmieri's family to save Anna when epilepsy completely took control of her body resulting in a serious brain surgery. Palmieri shares how much he learned from Anna about pursuing dreams and overcoming the impossible. You can read about Anna's fight to live on Palmieri's website: www.marcpalmieri.com and his newly released book, SHE DANCED WITH LIGHTNING, My Daughter’s Struggle with Epilepsy and Her Boundless Will To Live We would love to hear what you think about this episode.
