November is Epilepsy Awareness Month! A child having a seizure can be a scary experience, but Gillette's Children's pediatric neurology experts are here to help. We spoke with Janelle Pasch-Berglund, PNP, APRN, CNP about the ways you can keep your child safe during and after a seizure.

George Jamison clearly remembers the moment. He was with his older brother, Jack, at summer camp, having the type of fun that only 8 and 10-year-olds can. Then everything went black. When he awoke, a lot had changed.

As he ambles down a long hospital hallway, smiling with every step and practically daring you to do the same, it can be pretty easy to forget that this wasn't supposed to happen. Mateo Arcos was never supposed to walk.

"Anyone who has spent as much time in doctor's offices or waiting rooms as we have knows how frustrating it can be to start from square one when discussing your child's medical condition. When you're at Gillette, you never need to do that. I can't even begin to tell you how much that means." -Trisha Irvin
