I am posting this to see if there is
anyone else like me that has a chld that
suffers from febrile seizures. My son is
7 and a half years old right now. His
firs febrile seizure was at 18 months.
Since the first seizure, he has had about
6 or 7 more seizures and was put on
phenobarbital at age 3. He did really
well on phenobarbital and was taken off
the meds at age 5. He was off the meds
for 2 years and seizure free until this
past weekend when he was sick with a fever
and had another seizure. The doctors
said he was kind of old to be having
febrile seizures at this age but that it
still can happen. I am very upset and
worried and would like to talk to other
parents dealing with the same issues.
Thanks you for any advice or information.
