I am absolutely terrified .she says she wants things to go back to normal . I can not seem to let go at all. Do any of you have any experience ?

I just read the other day that sometimes seizures due to cortical dysplasia can appear as late as adulthood. But sometimes they are just guessing about the cause and they’re wrong - docs assumed our child’s seizures were due to damage from a different neuro condition but years later it became clear that she has a genetic form of epilepsy (good chance of growing out of them so that was more hopeful).
