A Wichita family is spreading epilepsy awareness with a photo that has gone viral on social media.

In the photo, 6-year-old Alayna who has epilepsy is on the floor during a seizure with her 4-year-old brother helping her. The post has been shared more than 43,000 times.

"They fight like typical sister and brother but he really loves her."

The love between these two is strong as you can tell by the picture. Alayna's mother posted it on 'Bug's Battle,' a Facebook page to raise awareness about Alayna's epilepsy.

"It's been difficult because she's constantly been in and out of the hospital."

She was diagnosed when she was 5 years-old. Her family says she would have more than 20 seizures a day.

With the help of a device called VNS, she has had far less. The device in her chest sends electrical impulses to her brain.

"It's like when her heart start beating really fast from a seizure it will detect that and charge it ."

To help charge it, the family uses a magnet when she starts seizing. When you swipe her it gives her an extra boost to make it stronger.

The viral photo was taken when Alayna's mom was feeding her younger sibling and she started seizing.

"He had already ran to go get one before I could tell him lane get a magnet cause I had the baby on me and he ran over to her and swiped her and he says its ok mom I got it."

She hopes sharing this story will show the impact it has on families across the United States.

" I want kids to be educated about other kids that have it and to not be afraid. I guess is the word with kids with disabilities or epilepsy."

It is because of the photo that other families going through the same thing have reached out to Alayna's mom with questions about the device.
