Liz Mullers fight through seizures

One day in 1980 a woman named Liz Muller experienced her first big tonic clonic seizure while standing in front of her students. After that she didn't know what to make of it and her world was changed instantly. From that point on she remembered visits to the neurologist and taking a lot of medications. In fact a lot of her students experienced seizures to. Liz was able to keep her job and most of her seizures occurred at night. Four years before her seizure Liz met Marcus Muller a paramedic w/the San Marino Fire Department. Soon after they were married and they had a child named Kellie eight years later. Most of Liz's seizures were well managed w/anti-epileptic medications. A few years later Liz's seizures became worse and uncontrollable. Her life became one doctors visit after another w/several anti-epileptic medications prescribed. Her spirits plummeted and she felt life wasn't worth living anymore. In March of 1999 Marc's dad saw a feature news article in the Los Angeles times on Epilepsy and the Brain Mapping Program at Huntington Memorial Hospital. Marc us and her family encouraged her to take the necessary steps to determine if she would be a candidate for surgery. After a series of image tests Liz was admitted to the Hospital for a seven day stay evaluation of the origin, type, and extent of her seizures. Then Liz was admitted to the hospital for another 20 days during a phase II observation and finally another 6 days for phase III. In addition to treasuring her "new life," Liz is now an active soccer mom and a volunteer at Huntington Hospital.
