Babies, however, don't understand what any of this means, so 9-month-old Amina was pretty confused when she saw her auntie.

Smith was delighted that so many people found humor in the photos.

"I felt so embarrassed when I first had to wear the leads for three days and didn't even want to leave my house," Smith said in an email. "But I took those pictures of her and... just realized how easy you can make light of a crummy situation."

"Life sucks sometimes and that's okay!"

Smith has been blogging for a year-and-a-half but only recently went public about her medical struggles. She finds it rewarding that documenting her health journey has sparked other people to reach out about "their own battle with epilepsy."

Since the tweet about her niece went viral, Smith says that people have been sending her pictures of them wearing "EEG's when they otherwise would've been self conscious."

Overall, Smith had this to say:

"A lot of the time people just want you to 'be positive,' but what I blog about is about increasing positivity but also accepting that life sucks sometimes and that's okay! And to just make the best out of it."
