13 yr old w/ nighttime seizures also

Mon, 02/21/2005 - 23:19
My 13 yr old son has nighttime seizures also....everynight now for over 18months!!!!!  He's been on Topomax and now Keppra Klonopin and he is still having seizures.  He's had 2-24 hr EEG studies in the hosp and they "see" the seizures on video; but not on EEG; they have DX him with Frontal Lobe Epilepsy but say the seizures are coming from too deep in the frontal lobe to record??  They are going to try one more time in March to record a seizure with another 24 test.  This is the 2nd hospital I've had him at---any suggestions????
