I am so sorry to hear about your tragedy. I feel for you truly I do. My husband and I are on the opposite sides of the fence when it came to immunizing the kids (I have 3). My husband against them and I believed in them. For some reason I really didn't want to have my baby shots on that particular day and even talked to the doctor about my concerns but talked me into having them anyway and he has had seizures ever since...I feel sick to my stomach ever time I see him seize. I have had and MRI & EEG and they both came back "good" but he continues to have seizures. I am looking for any information on different meds that you think are "good" or "bad". Thanks for listening and good luck to you and your family.

I do believe that there is could be a connection between sz and immunizations. Defineately would not be publicized, do to the idea of "Greater good" to society. That was the only connection between myself and epilepsy.
My seizures is where my family history began. As an infant I had tonic clonic seizures (After my first immunization). I had outgrown them by the age of three. Never had a seizure since. I was on pheno. My mother was scared and was very conservative, with the medication. So the story goes. I am not sure what a conservative approach is my self. I am now 34 yrs old. I have five children, and two of them have seizures. My son started having CAE @ three. My daugher has TLE, diagnosed January this year at the age of 16. I had never even been formally diagnosed. Good for me bad for my kids = bad for me too! (None of my five children are immunized, I made this decision prior to any knowlege that my children would develop epilepsy)
