They don't want to know anything about their parents and are, as they say in Bavaria and Austria, \"Zwiderwurzn\". (you say [\u02c8t\u0361svi\u02d0d\u0250\u02ccv\u028a\u0281t\u0361sn\u0329] ). And then you have them put on a NightWatch every evening before they go to sleep (\u201ceven if it looks pretty chic for a health product\u201d \ud83d\ude09). Well - congratulations! (but please: don\u2019t give up!)<\/p>\n<p>But now it's Christmas time, time for some peaceful and joyful hours, time to relax a bit and say THANK YOU, hopefully. The following story is from me for all committed people in the field of epilepsy (female, male, diverse, etc.) such as those affected by epilepsy, parents, carers, doctors, researchers, health insurance companies, medical device manufacturers, bosses, employees, pharmaceutical companies, advice centers, volunteers, foundations, friends, etc.: You are wonderful and great - thanks to you, help and support, progress happens every day and sometimes small and big miracles happen (which we all need).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_1 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section preset--module--divi-section--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_1 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_1 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_1 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>When Elen came into the world, she was at first sight a healthy baby. However, in her fifth month, she suffered a prolonged epileptic seizure that lasted more than 40 minutes. After several more seizures and hospitalisations, genetic tests revealed that she suffered from a rare and severe form of gene epilepsy - Dravet syndrome, also called <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dravet_syndrome\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Severe Myoclonic Epilepsy of Infancy (SMEI)<\/a>. Although the disease is genetic, she did not inherit it from either parent; it was just a \"gene fault\" early in pregnancy. Dravet syndrome is also associated with many other associated diagnoses, such as delayed psychomotor development, hypotonia, attention deficit disorder, unsteady walking, etc. Although Elen looks like a healthy four-year-old girl, she has many limitations in her life. For instance, she has to follow a strict and regular regime, be under constant supervision, stay with the children in the playground, not have too much fun, and not go outside in summer when it is hot outside. All this can lead to a seizure with unconsciousness, which can further delay her development.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, despite all precautions and four different anti-epileptic drugs, Elen has a more significant seizure every week. She can also have seizures during sleep, so we are happy to use NightWatch now.<\/p>\n<p>All these conditions affect our whole family, who must adapt their lives to Elen's needs. Elen cannot attend kindergarten because she tires easily and often sleeps during the day. Despite all the complications, Elen is a very smart and bright four-year-old girl who energises the whole family with her tremendous strength. As her parents, we are happy she has shown us a new path.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_2 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_image_0 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nightwatchepilepsy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NightWatch_Elen_arm-module.jpg\" title=\"NightWatch_Elen_arm-module\" width=\"960\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nightwatchepilepsy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NightWatch_Elen_arm-module.jpg 960w, https:\/\/nightwatchepilepsy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NightWatch_Elen_arm-module-480x640.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 960px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-35404\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_2 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section preset--module--divi-section--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_2 et_pb_row et_pb_row_1-4_3-4 et_block_row et_block_row_1-4_3-4\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_3 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_image_1 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nightwatchepilepsy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/info.svg\" title=\"info\" width=\"92\" height=\"92\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nightwatchepilepsy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/info.svg 92w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 0px) 0px, (min-width: 1px) 92px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-26012\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_3_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_2 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\" data-et-mv-hidden-tablet=\"true\" data-et-mv-hidden-phone=\"true\"><p><em>Author's note: according to the ILAE, West syndrome has been recognized as a childhood epileptic syndrome since its first appearance (1841) (ICD-10 classification: G40. 4, other generalized epilepsy and epileptic syndromes) and is considered a paradigm of an epileptic syndrome leading to neurological deterioration (epileptic encephalopathy) and has been the subject of numerous studies aimed at understanding the complex relationships between an epileptic disorder and neurodevelopment.

Fortunately, Aurora became seizure-free for 1.5 years right away with the first medication. At two and a half years, the seizures returned, and all seizures came from sleep. Aurora is a stomach sleeper and seized into her pillow. The prognosis of West syndrome is associated with reduced life expectancy and, accordingly, increased psychological burden and stress on caregivers accompanies it. The mother is employed and the daughter sleeps in her own room. Due to the child's condition and type of epileptic seizures, the mother is afraid that something will happen during sleep. The mother's occupation with an impaired child is possible because Anastasia Olfert has a family support network. Her parents help take care of Aurora or accompany her to the hospital, among other things. \"Not all parents have the resources to be employed as I do, and I am very grateful for that.\"<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_6 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_image_2 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_block_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nightwatchepilepsy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/NightWatch_please-help-me_2.jpeg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"959\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nightwatchepilepsy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/NightWatch_please-help-me_2.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/nightwatchepilepsy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/NightWatch_please-help-me_2-980x734.jpeg 980w, https:\/\/nightwatchepilepsy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/NightWatch_please-help-me_2-480x360.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1280px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-34688\" title=\"NightWatch_please-help-me_2\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_4 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><i><span lang=\"EN-GB\">During rehearsals with the DIN A 13 tanzcompany, Aurora is in the middle.

Mrs Olfert had tried NightWatch before (carrying position on the arm and then on the leg due to BNS epilepsy) and was very satisfied. Mother and child slept well because they could rely on an aid with high sensitivity. The doctor recommended NightWatch because of its multimodality and mobility. Measurement of heart rate, movement and body position is more appropriate for the child's seizure types. The physician justified this in her favourable letter to the health insurance company.<\/p>\n<p>The HEK rejected the application for NightWatch and recommended Epicare. The objection of the mother with a renewed justification from the physician was repeatedly rejected by the health insurance. There was no call from the health insurance company or any personal contact, the requests were formally rejected without further justification. \"Parents have to justify themselves all the time when they have a need for their sick child and a need for support, while we already have a lot to do with the care and support and the necessary occupation. No one ever spoke to me, there was no face-to-face conversation and no room was given for individuality. That goes very much to the mind,\" says Anastasia Olfert, looking back on the application process.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Olfert then became a member of the Social Association VdK Germany, a lawyer was assigned to her and the VdK took over the proceedings before the Cologne Social Court. The preparation for the procedure was a lot of work, all hospitalizations, doctor visits, findings, prescriptions etc. had to be proven from birth. An expert opinion was requested from a renowned epileptologist and submitted to the court.<\/p>\n<p>The social court granted the mother's application in January 2023 and the HEK has now approved the application for reimbursement of NightWatch. From the side of the HEK came a letter in which \"the assumption of costs after renewed examination\" was confirmed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_5 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section preset--module--divi-section--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_5 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_8 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_6 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>When Anastasia sleeps with her grandparents or, as recently, with a friend, NightWatch goes with her, of course.

She likes the contact and exchange among like-minded people. From August 2023, Aurora will go to school (1st grade). They have found the \"Active School\", a supportive, integrative school, where several children with epilepsy are enrolled and which both are already looking forward to.<\/p>\n<p>When asked where she finds her energy, Anastasia Olfert replies \"I get the energy from my parents' house and from my work with people who feel that they have different needs and that it is natural to have different needs. I look after myself, I also had a good social worker and get support from Family Respite Services, who also already know well how to deal with NightWatch.\"<\/p>\n<p>And when asked how she experiences her daughter's \"wiggle\" as a mother, she says \" When one body seizes, the other (the watcher, caregiver) seizes too. The parents have to be fine for the kids to be fine. A year ago I had a prolapse, and that's when I realized I couldn't go any further, I had no strength left. With the help of physiotherapy and osteopathy, I overcame the pain without surgery. A lot of things often just take time and patience. Of course, you have to do something to make things work out, and for that, it's important that you know your resources and can fall back on them.\"<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Thank you very much for the interesting interview!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>All the best, Birgit E.
