Q: prognosis for infant epilepsy

Hi, my son is almost eight months old. He started having seizures at four months and has had them ever since. Some days he was having 20-30 a day, but after different med trials he is down to one or two small ones a day. He is currently on topomax and phenobarb. My son also has global developmental delays. He has had a normal MRI, normal CT scan and many blood and urine tests that have come back normal. We are left without a reason for the delays and seizures. Our hope is that he will develop and lead a normal life. It is really scary as we don't know what his prognosis is. Does anyone have any similar stories or outcomes they can share?

I'm sorry you are dealing with this and that also no one has been able to respond to your post. I am wondering if maybe you posted in the parenting section you will get more feedback.

All the best to you and your little one. I hope he gets better!
