News report just said he had a history of seizures, and he died after falling and hitting his head on a bathtub.

Maybe that was the nanny’s job. It looks like his mother might have been hurt a little bit.

"What seems strange to me (assuming the reports are true) is that he went to take a shower on Thursday evening and wasn’t found until Friday morning."

What reports did you see? I have seen nothing to this effect.

It’s not comforting because my daughter has epilepsy.

I know how you feel. I have a 19 year old son who has had uncontrolled seizures since he was 7. We've tried almost every drug on the market, brain surgery, VNS, etc. all to no avail. I live in fear of something similar happening to him.

Scientologists propose other causes for seizures and autism than what most medical experts and researchers think. They also adamantly oppose treating seizures and autism with medicines.

so where is the difference with the 7th Day Adventists ( I think) who don’t allow transfusions..in terms of the legality where a court order can intervene to protect the child.

Have you tried the ketogenic diet? I know it works for some, but it seems like a lot of work.

My daughters seizures seem to be under control, but I know that things change with seizures.

It doesn’t matter. Any parent that loses a child is so bereft.

So sorry for his loss.

I’m going to say this again. Seizure-disorders can mimick autism. Also, 30% of those with autism have seizures.

Maybe he just had a seizure disorder.

Actually, even though you’re a noob and I shouldn’t respond, it should be noted that Kelly Preston maintained that one of the reasons for Jett’s illness was chemicals used in new carpet and household cleaners.

Prayers up for the family.

See ya!

However, you can be off of seizure medication for awhile, and then have one. Our neurologist said that lots of kids with seizure disorders are off of medication for years, and then during college have more because they stay up late, drink caffiene, diet sodas, etc. Those things can all lower seizure thresholds.

Lots of times the medications don’t work. Also, after 2 years of being seizure free, the docs will take people off of medication. Sometimes, they stay seizure free, and sometimes they don’t.

My daughter had a grand mal October of 2007, and was put on medication. We’re hoping she can get off the medication next October. The medication is very bad.
