Brooke Wilson: Raising a Child with Epilepsy


Listen Later

This week, Jessalynn is sitting down with her friend Brooke Wilson to discuss her journey in navigating her son Jack's epilepsy diagnosis and rare neurological condition, polymicrogyria (PMG). Brooke takes us through the complexities of Jack's condition, the impact on her family, marriage, mental health, and the flawed medical system they've had to deal with over the years. Despite the hardships, including Jack's surgeries and his ongoing care needs, Brooke's advocacy has turned into an inspiring mission to support other families facing similar struggles. Now 10 and seizure-free for three years, Jack's story is one of resilience, underscoring the importance of community and understanding in facing life's unexpected challenges. This episode is a heartfelt look into the realities of parenting a child with complex health needs. Brooke is such a resilient human and supermom, and we're so honoured that she shared her story with us!  Be sure to follow and keep up with Brooke on Instagram @brookemedicalmama  If you or someone you know is suffering from the effects of trauma, please know you are not alone in your healing journey.
