Oh that is good news. Maybe you are actually getting things under control. With the new medications available now, control seizures in a completely different way, your son has a better chance for seizure control in the future, and hopefully you will not have to go through surgery. Because it is a lot to go through.
Oddly enough tempature change was also a seizure tigger for my son. His was year round, like going from air conditioning to the heat and humidity out doors, or going outside in the winter. He was so sensitive to a change in tempature, that it could be as simple as a little breeze, and he would have a seizure.
I wish your son the best, continued seizure control.

Wow! Thank you for your comments. Sounds like a great outcome for your son. Our son stopped seizing for the time being (none since September & no changes with his meds). His seem to be temperature related (startup each year May/June and then taper off late summer). Wish we could live in Alaska April thru September to see if a cooler climate for the summer months would affect him for the better!
