Q: 20 Month Old Is Still Seizing

Last sunday, 9/7, my son , joey, had a grand mall seizure out of the blue. He hasn't even had a sniffle in his short life and we experienced a 3 1/2 minute kinda violent seizure for the first time. He has had a cat scan, mri, initial blood work, comprehensive blood work, an eeg and thankfully everything had come back normal.


Today, 7 days after the initial episode, he is strictly on phenabarb at about a therapeutic level of 35 and still having @ 7 seizures a day. They are mild and he resumes whatever his activity is but I feel like we are overlooking something. Anyone out there with any ideas? We live in sw florida...
