"I Promise To "Fight" For My 5-Year Old Daughter Suffering From Epilepsy" - Lake Bell

Actor Lake Bell is certainly having a fight of her own both emotionally and psychologically as she has her 5 year old daughter suffering and battling epilepsy. On Wednesday, Bell revealed on Instagram that her daughter has epilepsy.

"It's taken me a few months to gather the courage to post about it because I do not want to endorse its existence," she explained. "I also didn't know why I should share it. Why tell a bunch of strangers?"

But what made her ultimately share with her 170,000 followers? Lake is reminding people that they are never alone.

"In a time where we are so isolated I crave community. We all do. We want to be reminded we are not alone in any reality. And above all, I am grateful... Grateful to have a partner in @scottcampbell who, with his research and smarts, is giving these seizures a worthy adversary," she explained. "Scott and I, along with the care of the incomparable @childrensla, will conquer them."

Bell continued, "For Nova... so she doesn't have to cry in fear after she gets sucked into one. They are like invaders, that come on without invitation nor warning. We will fight for Nova. For her future. For tomorrow. For today."

Despite her struggle with epilepsy, Nova is still like so many kids trying to stay busy as schools remain closed because of COVID-19. In fact, her proud mom revealed last month that her daughter has been playing the trumpet while at home.
