We finally heard back from the Neurologist, who told us that they are trying these Anti-Seizure Meds to see if they make the seizures go away. They should work within 10-14 days and we should notice a significant decrease in seizures by that time. If not, then his seizures can't be controlled by medication.
We've learned that the two nerve clusters in his frontal lobe area of the brain can be the cause of seizures, and that those type of seizures don't respond to medication very well-or not at all in many cases.
Which is kind of a catch-22. If the meds don't work, then we know that he doesn't have a syndrome that causes seizures and he won't have to be on anti-seizure meds the rest of his life. But it also means he has a condition that causes seizures, and that he can't take any meds to control it. (that made more sense in my mind than when I typed it out).
Anyway, still waiting on results from tests and loving the return of his smiles.
