Story
π Osi was diagnosed with epilepsy in January 2025. His epilepsy is linked with another long term neurological condition called Neurofibromatosis 1 π
For the first 9 months, Osi's seizures averaged out at 1 every 2 weeks. Osi is very fortunate that with daily medication the seizures are well managed, now only occasional.
ππ Osi and his siblings are walking, biking or rolling a mile or more every day for the first 26 days of March, finishing on 26th March, which is Purple Day, the International Day of Epilepsy awareness ππ.
Purple is also Osi's all time favourite colour. From 9 months old, he would work through boxes of wooden blocks or cars and find the purple ones!
