Hi, I am a mom of a 4 1/2 year old girl, and a 2 year old boy who is epileptic (hence my screen name!). I am really going through baby fever right now. My husband would like another child but is so afraid to try for another baby as having one with epilepsy has been extremely hard as you all well know. Oliver has 2 gene mutations both Sodium Channel related (SCN8A and SCN9A). One was passed down from my husband (who does not have epilepsy) and one was his own mutation.
Just wondering, if anyone had more children after having a child with epilepsy and if your subsequent children also have epilepsy? We do have a referral in to have our daughter tested but don't have a date yet for our appointment.
Thanks for any responses!
