Never Become Hopeless

There was an article in the July 2015 issue of Wired Magazine about a boy with epilepsy. Sam has a different type of epilepsy than Damonito but there are some similarities between them. Sam's epilepsy benefited from cannabis and if all goes well, Damonito will be part of a study involving cannabis in the fall. The thing about the article that really resonated with me was the very last paragraph.

His dad, Fred Vogelstein writer of the article, wrote that years ago an epileptologist had made a point of saying that, as hard as you might find it sometimes, the one thing you should never do is become hopeless about the situation.


Sometimes I wonder how long he can go on this way but it's just my own preconceived idea because I know the possibilities. Damonito keeps pressing on because he doesn't know any different. There are good days and not so good days but each day has to be accepted for what it is. Most importantly, never give up. There is always hope.
