@djsmom
You mention “I feel so useless to her” and “I can’t fix it” I think all parents feel like that. But what can parents do? All things considered doctors and pharmaceuticals do a fairly good job. About 7 out of 10 seizure patients are controlled on meds. Of course that’s not helping your daughter but don’t give up. Hope the Keppra works and her seizures are controlled. About 70% of Epilepsy patients have Idiopathic Epilepsy will never know the cause of their Epilepsy. I don’t understand why she is taking Clonidine? Does she have ADHD or anxiety? Since Diastat is a rescue medication I assume she is having cluster seizures. How often do you administer Diastat?
Hope the Keppra works soon and her dose doesn’t have to be increased too much.
Blessings,
Jake
