[QUOTE="MommaTried24, post: 765163, member: 33205"] My son was seizing in the womb and when he was born. He was on phenobarbital the first four months of his life and when I read what long term use of that drug can do, the medical staff and I decided to try and wean him. He had zero seizures and a perfectly normal life for 10 years. He was molested at 8 by a man his dad left him with during visitation. We've been divorced since my son was three. At twelve the seizures had become progressively worse. He had a brain surgery that removed the right frontal temporal lobe of his brain. He had a 50/50 chance of the seizures being gone. It didn't work. He's been on medications every 12 hours for 18 years now. I feel the brain surgery only created more of a deficit. The drinking causes dehydration and more seizures. It's a vicious cycle and I truly can't believe he's still alive. He was always a really smart and good kid. The only time I don't worry as much about him now is when he's in jail. Sad to say but true. This has become my life. I must find a way to overcome what has become of my child. I can't tell you how much it's helping me to follow you. Again, thank you. [/QUOTE]
