Description

When Melanie Kandzierski took on the role of being mother to her granddaughter Rosie, she didn’t know how it would change her world. Rosie began experiencing seizures and she would eventually be diagnosed with a Dravet syndrome, a rare form of epilepsy that not only causes seizures, but developmental delays, motor issues, and behavioral challenges. Kadzierski discusses how she has learned to care for a child with Dravet syndrome, care for herself, and to advocate not only for Rosie but others with complex medical conditions.
