Travel Tips - Travelling with Epilepsy. Find out how the Carroll family conquered their fears to make frequent travelling possible. Travel is doable if you or a family member has Epilepsy. By Daniel Carroll.Travelling with EpilepsyIn the big scheme of life, our time on this planet is short. Our family loves to travel, and we never take the privilege for granted, especially given the current situation with Covid-19. We endeavour to find fun and adventure in everything we do and ardently believe in taking less and giving more. Parenting a child with special needs provides a rare insight into what matters in life and the importance of surrounding ourselves with people who understand the unique journey.Morgan, our first-born daughter, suffered a traumatic birth resulting in multiple disabilities. Her disabilities include Hydrocephalus, Spastic Diplegia Cerebral Palsy, Scoliosis, Autism, Epilepsy, and Intellectual Impairment. Morgan is also legally blind. Despite these conditions, Morgan is a fun-loving, friendly, talkative, adventurous individual who loves jumping on a plane, boat, car or basically anything that moves!Perhaps it's best to start at the beginning. Before she was formally diagnosed, we almost lost Morgan to Epilepsy in the year of 2008 while returning home from school on the bus. The Tonic-Clonic seizure lasted over seventy minutes. Within this time, she was rushed to a local hospital before medical staff informed they couldn't do any more for her. Consequently, Morgan was airlifted to a major facility and placed in an induced coma and ventilated. After days in intensive care, she improved and spent three weeks in a hospital ward without uttering a word.This ghastly, oxygen zapping seizure caused further damage to Morgan's brain, but look at her now living life to the fullest, a jet setter indeed! Proving that travelling with epilepsy is doable. With years of lived experience, we adequately manage Morgan's Epilepsy with anti-seizure medication. However, her patterns have changed over the years, and she certainly keeps us on our toes, especially while in foreign countries and travelling outside our comfort zone.
