Hey my name is Tekkita and I have a 16 year old son thats living with epilepsy, he had his first seizure when he was 3 due to encephalitis. We were hospitalized for 3months.. After all that we were sent back home with a g-tube and he has to start everything(walking and talking) all over again. He still don't do either and is having 5 or more seizures daily

Welcome to Connect, Tekkita. I'm glad you found us in the Epilepsy group.
Managing 5 or more seizures daily must be very hard for both your son and for you. What treatment and medical support do you have for you and your son? Speech therapy, physical therapy? Do you have help with your son's care?
