Hello all. This is my first post, so please be gentle.
My son has recently been diagnosed with epilepsy, however a specific cause is yet to be determined. Here is the background:
1) Age: 15 months. Diagnosed in August.
2) Seizure type: mostly atonic, mostly lasting less than a second. 20-50 per day. Varying from head nods to drop attacks.
3) Medication: topamax, keppra, and Lamictal. Limited control to date.
4) Developmentally delayed - poor motor skills.
5) Has trouble controlling his body temeprature (side effect of topamax?)
I have a question, and would greatly appreciate your feedback and insights on we can we best manage his safety and well being once he lerns to walk. We fear he will do ome serious damage to himself when he can start to walk on his own.
Thanks
