I am assuming that you have gotten this information from your daughter's Pediatrician doctor. You need to sit down with the doctor and/or staff and get all the information that you can get and ask for a group support system in your local area. Most hospitals have these types of group support at no cost and you can get educated in your daughter's illness. Has she been put on any type of medications yet? If so, then you need to educate yourself by reading the information paper that your pharmacist give you along with those medications...plus ask you pharmacist questions, they are always willing to help you understand your medications. Plus you do want the school to be aware of her epilepsy, this way if there is an episode, they can take the proper precautions for her health and well-being.

You need to contact the school and let them know. Schools are prepared for all different types of illnesses and problems. Many kids in the schools have other illnesses and disabilities many never effect there school day. Be open and up front with the school. Make a plan with the school as to what you want done if she has a seizure in school. Contact the national epilepsy foundation and they can send you information on types of seizures and pamphlets to give out to the school. Education is the best you will have to educate them about what to do with your child.I work with children who have medical problems and they are an active part of the public school.

Your daughter needs to be on antiseizure medication. It isn't normal or desirable to have seizures. She needs to see a doctor and have a work up to find out why this happening. If this happens at school she will be embarrassed and at risk for complications, as teachers aren't trained to deal with it and nurses may take a short while to arrive due to location. Ensuring her saftey is of utmost importance. Get her checked by a neurologist and follow his advice. Her life is at stake. A seizure victim can't drive if still having seizures and if they occur at school, precious time will be lost seeking the nurse and arriving at the seizure site.
If her epilepsy is undere control her new school year should be no different than the next.

Send her to the school in your area where the rest of the kids go. Just because a child has epilepsy doesn't mean the child is a dim-wit. Lots of people that have the condition, it's usually passed down the family that is known to have migraine.
Just make sure she has her meds before and after school and she'll be fine. I know I have been there done that in my life time since I have the same condition.
Take Care, Laurie

Wow, I think you should attend the same school as her to relearn how to write! Unless this is the new "hacker elite" way of speaking which I am unaware of.
Epilepsy will stay with your daughter, but she will still make friends if she has the right character. People might ask what is wrong with her, she might cry, but true friends will be accepting. I knew two people (girls actually) who had mild epilepsy fits every so often, and because they were friendly people accepted them with their quirks. You shouldn't worry about whether or not your child will fit in. She will do fine with the right attitude.

With proper medication, she can live a normal life. Certain drug companies will provide medication for free if you cannot afford it, ask your daughter's doctor to check into it for you.
Good luck and God bless.

could you clarify the shop thing? do you mean she vomited?or started to throw stuff? and did you mean 5pm today? i would go to the school nurse and teacher and well everyone their for staff and explain her issue. they will understand, also a hint for you. look for symptoms leading up to the seizure bright light, smells, behavior. they may let you know when they are coming keep a journal. for example a woman i once cared for claimed she smelled smoke, right after that she would have one.
