Exclamation New Member seeking advice or help

Hi My name is Heather,
My son, Conor, is 3 years old he started having seizures at 4 months old. The doctors say it was not the shots, my husband and I think otherwise. After the 6 months shots, more seizures. Diagnosed with GERD. Developmental delays started. After he was a year old we started going to Childrens in Pittsburgh, PA. They Neurologist found an X chromosome q21.1 duplication. Then a chromosome 15 Polg double duplication. I was tested and have the same thing. Now it's considered a normal varient.

Conor started to sit right before he turned 3 in Nov 2011. He can not crawl, walk or talk. He can not feed himself either. His seizures have been undercontrol since he was 18 months old.

It's amazing to watch him. He almost looks like he has CP. He has a had therapies since he was 7 months old.
Recently they found an error on the Chromosome 5 q34. Otherwise know as Juvenile Myclonic Epilepsy. I need help!

Anyone that can comment or had been through anything similar I could use some support and help with what others are going through.
