As a parent of a child with a severe form of epilepsy, how do you cope?

I have to tell you that that is my least favourite question that anyone ever asks me - I cope because I have to, I cope because I love my son and because also in spite of his epilepsy and his severe learning difficulty, he's a beautiful little boy, he has a wonderful smile and a really hearty laugh and that is worth the world to you when your child's gone for six months without smiling or laughing because he's so suppressed because of seizures and medication so really I cope because Dominic copes and because he's so brave. He provides an inspiration to me.
