Evan is 5' 8" tall, weight is 245lbs., and 39 years old.
Primary duties would be to keep Evan from injury during seizure activity. Meal prep once in a while, dispense medication, physical activity, companionship. His seizure activity varies. He may go 20 days without a seizure or he may go 10 days without. Once seizure activity starts he may have 13 seizures in an 8 day stretch. During this time he will be in-active. Between the seizures and additional seizure medication he will spend a lot of time in bed. I use cameras and monitors to help with his safety. Definitely need to be present when he is eating. Need to assist with tooth brushing. Work schedule would be varied depending on doctor visits of all family members, I am the only driver in a family of four. Evan has an older brother also with Fragile X but he is high functioning. My bride no longer drives.
