My son’s seizure history did not begin with epilepsy. It began with meningitis. One condition gave us the other, and for months we did not fully understand the connection between them.
The question my wife asked the neurologist at our second appointment was the one neither of us had said out loud yet. “Do children ever just… stop having seizures?” The doctor paused before answering.
My son started having seizures at three years old. Nobody warned us that the pattern might change — that what looked manageable at five could look completely different by ten.
