Okay, so it's been a little while since I updated my info. Jack is still having daily seizures. He is now taking the Tegretol 3x's daily and they added Keppra 2x's a day. The strangest thing happened the other day... We were driving around...he was watching TV in the back. We stopped at Sonic to eat. Jack let out this horrible scream and started seizing. Now, Jack doesn't get the "jerking seizures" he shakes head to toe uncontrollably. We took him out of his car seat and held him until it stopped.
Well, it took about 1 min. for his seizure to stop. Okay, a week later (yesterday, Tues. Sept. 5th) I was driving the van, my husband was in the truck behind me, and he saw me throw my flashers on, and fly the van off the highway into a store parking lot. He already new it was Jack. I heard him do that scream, and looked back and sure enough, he was shaking head to toe. I got him out (after running all the way around the van and realizing I didn't unlock the side door and had to run all the way back
around to the drivers door and unlock it!) I held him until it stopped. Well, my husband dropped his truck off at home and rode with me. Jack was watching the movie "hoodwinked". When it got to the part where the "woodman" was chopping down trees...Jack screamed and covered his eyes. I quickly turned it off. I brought the movie in the house when we got home.
Sure enough, it was that part. He had the seizure at that exact part of the movie. I called his Dr. this morning and asked them about it....They said when he gets very scared he can have a seizure. Now, I don't know why he thinks that is scary, or why it has not bothered him the 10000,0000 time before when he has watched it...but, needless to say, he will not be watching it again! Guess that's all for now. Talk to you all later.
