Re: [epilepsy] Refusing meds

Amanada,

You probably need to consult your neurologist bout Erika refusing meds. At
age 4 it may be necessary not to give her the choice. You are the parent.
Allowing her to continue to refuse meds could eventually lead to Children
Servces investigating and possibily charging you with neglect.If I was in
your situation I would not go down the road without written knowledge from
her neurologist, I know it sounds like I am over-reacting, but you really
can't let a 4 year, a child below the age of reason, to refuse meds for
something as serious as epilepsy.
