I took Garrett for his first follow up since his seizure a couple of months ago. They told me that he does have an official diagnosis of epilepsy. They also told me that a lot of times, if children start having seizures around his age, they will grow out of them in a couple of years, so that is what we are hoping for. They told me, according to his EEG from his hospital stay in August, that the seizures were not caused by any sort of brain injury and that no injury to his brain had resulted. So, we are upping his medicine a little bit, and they will keep him on that. If he doesn't have any breakthrough seizures, they are hoping to be able to wean him off seizure medication after a couple of years.
