[QUOTE="BestICan, post: 82816, member: 3413"] Hi Cheryl, I want to offer a tiny crumb of hope. Our kids have very different behaviors but mine has partial complex seizures also. And when my son was having seizures (they appear to be controlled now) his behavior was VERY unpredictable and he was in trouble constantly. Made my life/his life miserable. Now that he's in 2nd grade and has been on Tegretol for almost 2 years I'm really noticing a huge improvement. He's mellowing out, he's maturing, he can handle himself in a lot of situations that were impossible before. Why the improvement? Great therapy, controlled seizures, overall maturity. Who knows, probably lots of other things, too. I don't know anything about your difficult child's EEGs or MRIs but I'm told that growing out of these seizures is a definite possibility for my son. Maybe it is with your difficult child, too, and maybe when the underlying condition is less of a problem, he'll have a better time coping and his behaviors will reflect that. I just want you to know that you're not guaranteed a life of misery. He's SO young, you're working SO hard and doing SO many things right. I believe things will not always be so hard for you. Best, Jen [/QUOTE]
