Hi ferrells,
Welcome to NT! You and your wife are two wonderful people adopting the boys. May God Bless You both! I have worked with kids that are ADHD, and that are mentally retarded do to medical problems at birth. I work in public school in special education. I've had petit mal, complex partial and simple partial seizures for 36 yrs. now. I also had 2 brain surgeries to help reduce the seizures. You might find that Dalton has more seizures at certain times of the yr. this is also known as seasonal seizures. I always have more seizures in the fall and winter than in the spring and summer. Hot water will often trigger a seizure for me but the 3 biggest things that trigger seizures are stress, lack of sleep, and nutra sweet (aspartame). You might want to try and put the boys on the ketogenic diet to help stop the seizures. It was a great help for me. Also if the boys are going through puberty that can be a hard time because the hormones are changing in the body which can cause seizures. Everyone here is a great help I wish you and the family only the best and May God Bless All of You!

Sue
