6 Month Old With Seizures Update Posted: 09-30-05 10:57am
My daughter is now 10 months old. It has
been over one month since her last
seizure, which is the longest so far!
She is currently on 3.1ml of trileptal.
Izabella is not sitting up yet, holding
her own bottle, consistently grabbing for
toys that are right in front of her. We
have started her on physical therapy to
help.
Izabella's eyes also go crossed every so
often and she does not always make eye
contact with us. The pt said that is
something found with kids who have autism.
Can this be because of autism, rom the
trileptal, or damage from the seizures she
has aready had? I am worried! The pt
also noticed that when holding a toy in
front of her, bella's eye would not always
follow it. She thought maybe she could
only see shadows. I have read things
about people having problems with their
eyes...We have an eye doctor appointment
at the end of october. We are trying to
find something sooner, but every where is
booked solid.
If anyone has a comment, please respond
back.

I am so sorry the therapist gave you more
to worry about. She is much to young to
figure out if she has autism. That
usually occurs with normal developement
then a regression as well.....Typically
around 3 years of age.
I am so sorry she is delayed. I would
have her eyes checked with a neuro
opthamologist to see about the wandering
eye issues. I have a friend whose toddler
needed drops to help correct that. It
could be many things and it would be good
to get an opinion on it.
I am so glad the trileptal is helping!!
Hang in there with it.....Hoping she will
catch up on things...........

Hi,
i noticed that you are from michigan. By
any chance are you taking your daughter to
childrens hospital?
The reason I ask is because my two month
old son has been having seizures. I am
also from michigan. His doctor put him
on trileptal, the seizures have stopped
(it's been a few weeks since his last
one). I'm just concerend about the side
effects of trileptal.
What type of seizures does your daughter
have? What types of tests has she had?
I'm just really confused and scared
myself.
I know this is an old post, I hope you
found out the info you were looking for
and everything with you daughter is
working out right.
