Coueffin has been living on her own in Kelowna and working with the B.C. Epilepsy Society. She has been giving talks in the Kelowna area and has even spoken at a Revelstoke school. She's been getting teased a lot. Anita said her daughter went through the same thing as a child. Coueffin said she still isn't sure why she was teased so badly.
Kids are just mean.
Coueffin said she is currently working on starting up a support group in Kelowna for children with epilepsy and their parents. When I was lying in the hospital, I was always wondering what was ahead of me. Anita said having a child with epilepsy is a hard experience. I protected her too much. I never let her swim, ride a bike, play in the playground or rollerblade.
