I don't believe that anyone can predict a seizure.
I don't liveling life according to statistics.
Status epilepticus has a low percentage too but I have been in numerous induced comas from them.
And I've known people who have died from SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy)
which also has a low percentage occurrence.
In my opinion, even the best doctors are at best gambling. Your son won't have more seizures.

I think of it as a numbers game. What are the odds of a seizure at any given time? The chance of a seizure is higher for someone who has had previous seizures than for someone who has never had a seizure. I look at it that taking the meds and avoiding seizure triggers shift those odds but never reduce them to zero.
