[QUOTE="tired Cheryl, post: 78720, member: 4109"] MeowBunny: How did you keep your daughter in her room? Yes, of course he calmed down at mother in law. I don't care and don't care what they did with him. I am assuming that she will not make it seem like a "sleepover" but really don't care. I need to be away from him tonight. Both mother in law and husband say often, "He never does that with me." (He does in milder forms she just doesn't recognize it) I could just scream! Ok, great you take him then! husband just ignores him and it is true that difficult child does not physically attack him. But he does attack me and teachers both verbally and physically. As far as the epilepsy connection goes, his first seizure 1 1/4 years ago, that we noticed was a doozy-45 minutes (including time at ER) of unresponsiveness that led to repsiratory problems and four day ICU stay. He seizures are pretty easy to recognize but of course neither we nor his neuro docs are ruling out that some of this behavior is not seizures. That is why he had a 24 hr VEEG. Like I posted previously no seizure activity noted during two meltdowns there though there was some spiking during quieter times-from left frontal lobe. Maybe it is because I am a medical professional myself, but right now I want to trust the neuorologist, epileptologist, psychiatrists and go with the medications and dosages that they have prescribed. I have spoken to them extensively and I must give their treatment plan a chance to work. They have years of clinical experience to rely on and sometimes that is more important than studies. I really resent when clients come to me for help, ask my professional opinion then shoot down my recommendations before giving them a chance to work.

I do appreciate Sara's concerns as she has years of experience. I am fortunate that all of his docs are at the Childrens hospital and are working together as a team.
