This post is part of the Epilepsy Blog Relay™ which will run from March 1 to March 31, 2018. Follow along!

Day 2 of the Epilepsy Blog Relay™

Jes Armstrong is back again to share an update from her blog Wishes for Mercy, a blog about her experiences as mother to a special needs child who looks normal at first glance.

Jes writes, “Though this journey often feels very lonely, I know that is an illusion. So many will relate to what our family experiences. So many suffer much more than we do.”

Wishes for Mercy shares Jes’ family’s joys, frustrations, happy moments and sorrows with those who care and those who relate.
