Who We Are

Rebecca, Glenn, Harvey & Mckenzie

We're a family based in Tasman, New Zealand — Rebecca and Glenn, our son Harvey and our daughter Mckenzie, plus Pluto, our very loyal dog.

This site is our personal account of Harvey's journey with absence seizures: the changes we saw, the choices we made, and the research we did along the way. We're not medical professionals — just parents who wanted to understand what was happening to our son, and who hope our experience might offer some understanding, encouragement, or a useful starting point to another family walking a similar path.
