Keep Goin Owen

The experience of raising our son Owen who has Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome.

04/28/2026

Hello new parent, potential parent, and especially pregnant women.

It’s me. Your worst nightmare.

And don’t worry I can’t actually hear your thoughts, but I sure as heck can FEEL them!! I see you looking at us, sneakin a peak, sending out a lil gratitude that IT’S ME and NOT YOU with a sick and disabled kid. And … now you’re now feelin like your good deeds and excellent medical/dietary/research behavior saved you from my fate - you’re absolutely WRONG but whatever helps you sleep at night.

Anyways I’ve spent years trying to make peace with this strange sensation but I still feel it every. single. time. I’m in public with Owen. Like me simply existing reminds you that it coulda been worse? Barf, I don’t like it but I’m stuck with it - and every disability mom on the planet knows this feeling 💔

Can I fix it? Probably not in this lifetime but I am putting my whole heart into sharing our experience in the hopes that my presence no longer generates fear in society but a desire to express kindness and acceptance instead. How am I doin so far?

Another OC Epilepsy Walk in the books for Team Owen 💜⚡️

We came, we walked, we purple’d. Than you to everyone who supported us!! Until next year 🧠

Nothing like a couple of days of intense health issues to remind you who’s really in control here … I had one the most brutal vomit virus nights of my motherhood journey so far this week and in classic epilepsy cruelty fashion that was followed up with one the longest and worst seizures these eyes have ever seen 🙈

The thing is, I knew it was coming, I was on high alert because after 24 of no meds and no sleep, the electric devil likes to come out and play 😈 and that she did.

Everyone is recovering now, back to baseline as the say in medical mom world, but the those horrors …well, they do be persistin’ sometimes 😖

Happy Purple Day to all who celebrate and all who loathe ⚡️💜 a reminder that today we let the electric devil have it’s little moment, we wear purple and honor the fight because we love fierce and we don’t give up

Today’s Facebook memory really chose violence. Good Morning Emotional Wreckage- it’s been a minute. And yes Colleen of 2018, you will need to get woke real quick 😖

After 2 really hard visits to Disneyland, we finally got our redemption day 😎 I’ve officially upgraded my evaluation of this place from something I will tolerate to something I find mildly agreeable 😆

Join your homeboy Owen for another episode of cultural experiences my mom forced us to do. This week’s adventure brought us to America’s most hated city Los Angeles, CA 😎🌮🐉

Just so you know, this is not actually me talking, it is satire. No one was harmed by spicy tacos by inedible confetti

Came for the snacks, stayed for the bunny 🏟️🐰Simply had to post this cute pic of me and my future lineman. Still toppin the charts at the 90th percentile, now I just gotta show him how to cover the blind side hut hut 🏈

Today is the date 1/26 👉 1 in 26. That’s how many people will develop epilepsy in their lifetime. It’s more common than multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and ALS, yet it’s still so misunderstood. Epilepsy is life-threatening, unpredictable, and it shapes every decision I make and my entire identity as a parent 🧑‍🧒
I will never stop fighting for my son, raising awareness, and standing up for families like mine who live this reality every single day 💜⚡️I’m here and I get it 🫂

I don’t have elegant words for this, but here I sit, so anxious I’m nauseous and I cannot sleep -
It’s been 2 years since I’ve been to the belly of the beast with Owen and now he’s bigger, stronger, trauma aware and I am absolutely terrified of what tomorrow’s hospital stay will bring. We used to go to the emu together every. single. month.

But now we’re coming in with a broken heart, a broken spirit, and a taste of freedom that stung so badly when it ended - I still haven’t recovered. Was it real? Will we get it again? More importantly, are we still strong enough to fight for it?

Even though seizure freedom was brief I believe it was worth every second. So here we go again my son, the horrors persist but so do we 💜⚡️

New Year’s Eve in the Upside Down. On-theme snack board, 3D printed Vecna, and gearing up to fight the toughest villain yet —epilepsy.

Bring it, 2026 💜⚡️🧠
