    I can definitely relate to having hopes up for a new med, only to lose hope in them quickly. Certain meds helped Raelynn for a period of time, but then their effects wore off even at their max dosage. Is that the same for Jack? Looking forward to part 3! This is like a series of a medical mystery show!

      Definitely the same for Jack. Even now, he takes meds just to keep certain types of seizures at bay.
      I hope you’re enjoying the vids! I knew we needed to have a sit down and explain everything (and it still isn’t everything) but I we didn’t want it to be too boring or chatty.

    I was diagnosed with Epilepsy when I was 2 and had my Seizure Tumor surgically removed when I was 8.
    My Brother admitted awhile ago that before I was born he caused my brain damage by sitting on Mom where my head was saying he was trying to help Mom.
    I don’t understand that part.
    Mom said she didn’t even made it to the labor room because I came out early.

    You've probably heard this question 1000 times already but, just in case. Was the genetic panel you guys did extensive? We are going through this now with our 7 month old, sigh. Infantile spasms. First genetics came back negative for everything and we thought that was it. Then a second genetics doctor realized they had only done a very basic epilepsy panel, which didn't include some other genes. We did a second one, more extensive and bingo. My daughter has a mutation in the potassium channel KCNQ3. Prognosis is not great but seeing your strength makes me think I will be able to deal with it too. Sending love to you and Jack ❤

    Do his seizures still change every few months?

      They did, but they seem to be remaining basically the same for now, albeit a little stronger when he does have them.
