Hello all. I am new to this group. My son was diagnosed in april of 2006 with partial epilepsy with secondary generalized. He had 2 normal EEG's and then this past april, he had an abnormal and she swithced his epilepsy to mixed epilepsy. He does really well right now. We have him on keppra 140mg a day at this point. He has had a total of 6 sz's that we have seen. 2 absence and 4 TC's. The first one happened on 1-1-06. Go figure New Years Day. Anyway, we were terrified that he was dying, Did not know what was happening. That one was febrile. The rest were not. We put him on keppra as of 4/12/06 and have only seen 2 absence sz's since then. Mostly because of adjustments that needed to be done with the keppra. We are still scared every single day about this condition. We hate E. Logan is not even 4 years old yet and it kills us to think about the bad things that can happen. How do we deal with that part?
