So the more I think about it the more I wonder. Even before Evan was diagnosed with epilepsy ( a year before +) He has always been "all over the place" and "very active". Could this have been because he has/had the abnormal brain activity going on?
We have recently been doing developmental therapy with him because I have had some concerns concerning his speech..He is 2 and says alot of words and can label things, but is not putting too many words together to make "phrases". Well his initial evaluation says he is nowhere near delayed and falls under being "typical" for his age. They are more concerned with his attention span.
Right now he is on zonegran, keppra, lamictal (small dose just started this) and klonopin. I do feel like these medications are not helping with his attention or the epilepsy to be honest. We are still trying to find the "right" cocktail.
But I guess my question is this..What else can I do to help his attention> any other parent go through this? I am concerned because if we can't keep his attention how is he ever able to be able to learn things properly... so frustrated right now!
