20 Month Old Is Still Seizing Posted: 09-13-03 22:31pm
Last sunday, 9/7, my son , joey, had a
grand mall seizure out of the blue. He
hasn't even had a sniffle in his short
life and we experienced a 3 1/2 minute
kinda violent seizure for the first time.
He has had a cat scan, mri, initial blood
work, comprehensive blood work, an eeg and
thankfully everything had come back
normal.
Today, 7 days after the initial episode,
he is strictly on phenabarb at about a
therapeutic level of 35 and still having @
7 seizures a day. They are mild and he
resumes whatever his activity is but I
feel like we are overlooking something.
Anyone out there with any ideas? We live
in sw florida...
