For those who are not epileptics:
Seizures are truly "the little death". Take your worst (and I mean the one you are scared to even think of) nightmare, your greatest dream, your short term memory and put them in a blender. Exclude anything and everything else. Now live that mess for a few eons. That is what the memory (what little is left) of a seizure is like.
You don't usually even retain the short term memory of events before the seizure (sometimes several days worth, that you may later 'recover'). Long term memories can get distorted or cross linked to other non related memories. And sometimes you just wake up in the middle of where ever and have no memory of how and why you are there. "When did it become Wednesday? Why am I at the pharmacy?"
I lived with that for the first three decades of my life. I have only since then had a relatively problem free life. And one of the things that saved me is sitting here next to me. Without her in my life I would most likely not be here now.
Thank you, Angelcat.
Back to the little girl and her service dog. I would have given nearly anything to have had this wonderful gift in my life. To have someone there to hold me, to WARN me, and to be there afterward. She is blessed by the gift of this dog.
As for all of this "She must be put into special ed" and similar arguments; The service dog is there so that she does not need the special ed. Or the stink that attach's to a student that used the special ed program.
As for the trouble that the dog could cause in class; why not use this as a teaching lesson for the class (or the whole school) about the treatment of both service animals and those who are different? Aren't schools supposed to be places of learning and understanding?
Yes, a dog can bite. A child can too. And the service dog is trained and licensed by the state. Are the children? This argument falls apart in my mind just by putting the fact of the animals training and licensing on the table.
Finally: I wish this girl and her entire family the best.
