In this episode, you’ll hear Tricia talk about the fight of a lifetime to find a diagnosis for her daughter, Cora, who is now 13 years old. After four and a half years of countless doctors and very little sleep, Tricia learned that her daughter has  Rolandic Epilepsy. If you are going through a similar experience, Tricia recommends getting in touch with the  Epilepsy Foundation and finding a local chapter in your area.
