Jonathan Tuteur's story begins before birth. One of his triplet siblings grew a vein from her placenta to Jon's to survive. Doctors said they had never seen anything like it.

For thirty years, that was little more than a fascinating story until Jon collapsed at home. Then he did it again, at work in Arlington, Virginia. And a third time, in the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa, Canada. A doctor explained to Jon he had epilepsy.

Jon's birth story is his doctors' best hypothesis as to why he has the disease, which affects more than sixty-five million people globally.

The next fifteen-plus years included more than five hundred seizures, forty nights in the hospital, and three brain surgeries involving fifteen holes drilled in his head.

Jon's inspirational odyssey with a life-changing disease, and his ability to ultimately see it as a gift, will invite you to reflect on your life and purpose.

Seizing Today is an account of an ordinary life interrupted by extraordinary change. Vulnerable and honest, it is a remarkable story of resilience, self-discovery, and the importance of human connection.
