Wendy, what does ATA stand for? I'm also interested in learning more
about Julia's type of seizures and why she has so many and such long
ones. Is there some congenital condition she has that causes or
contributes to the high length and frequency of her seizures? And did
her other problems occur because of the seizures or ????
It's kind of interesting how I meet people who come up to us after
Megan has had a seizure to tell us that either they or their child
have epilepsy. Once we were at Red Lobster waiting for a table, and
just as we were being led to our table, Megan had a seizure. The
waiter (who we had known from his working there for a few years) told
me that he used to have seizures. I can't recall if he had surgery or
what, but I think it is great that he has them under control now.
Anyhow, the reason I brought this up is that another time Megan had a
seizure while sitting on the edge of a pool at our grand-daughter'
birthday party. The party was at a hotel, and a man with his toddler
son came up to me to tell me that this cute little boy had had twenty
or thirty seizures a day starting in infancy, but that his seizures
had been completely controlled by surgery. Are these really frequent
seizures more common in very young children? Are there particular
types of epilepsy that are characterized by many seizures a day?
My best to you and Julia,
Tammy
