Epilepsy Awareness Day aims to increase public knowledge about this neurological condition that affects over 50 million people worldwide and it has personal significance for Rep. Weber and his family.
Rep. Weber’s son has Left Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. Left temporal lobe epilepsy can affect your ability to understand language, learn, memorize, form speech and remember verbal information. His seizures make it hard for him to remember. He describes his condition as similar to Drew Barrymore’s character in 50 First Dates.
