I leave feeling inspired by our children and how resilient they are. I feel hopeful about the future. I love seeing the adults living with Dravet and their families. There’s so much good that comes from being part of this community. Honestly, I can’t think of a single downside, aside from the harsh reality that Dravet is an awful condition. But even that is something we all deeply understand already, and that shared understanding makes the experience feel even more meaningful.
