Zach has had more seizures lately. They can often come in groups like this with his kind of epilepsy, so it is not unusual, but we nonetheless went to the neurologist on Monday to talk about medication. We really don't want to put him on pills, especially strong ones that affect his brain. So we are weighing the benefits and symptoms and trying to decide. I am leaning towards not medicating him, as the seizures happen at night and are not generally dangerous. I just want the best for him, and it's already challenging enough being an 8 year old without having to deal with effects of a powerful drug in your brain.
