Waking Mathilda: A Memoir of Childhood Narcolepsy

By Claire Crisp

A native of England, Claire Wylds-Wright had three healthy children. Then came the H1N1 flu pandemic of 2009. It took only one vaccine-one seemingly innocuous vaccine to Mathilda, the baby of the family-to change their lives forever. Diagnosed at age three as the world's youngest child with narcolepsy, the joyful and energetic Mathilda rapidly dissolved into someone unrecognizable. In this compelling narrative, Claire Wylds-Wright chronicles the fight for Mathilda's treatment. Leaving their family and country in England, the family begins a new journey-one of faith, loss, and of love as immigrants to the western shores of the United States.
