Hello,Sorry this is long, but

Hello,Sorry this is long, but I figured I'd give all the info in one introduction post...I am not the one that is diagnosed with epilepsy...it is my 16 year old son. He just all the sudden had a seizure a few weeks ago. We are in the process of initial testing.I was near him when he had the seizure and from my description, the neurologist said it was a focal seizure, but the EEG indicated generalized seizures. Current diagnosis is "epilepsy of unknown type and origin". His paternal grandfather (RIP) and my husband have had seizures, so among other tests, they are going to look at the genetics aspect for a cause.What makes all this even harder on us is that my son was diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder when he was about 5 years old. He is hypersensitive to things that most people have no trouble tolerating, like loud sounds and touch (he doesn't even like me to hug him), so all the testing has been really challenging for him to cope with (he cried during the MRI because of the loudness). Unfortunately, he is also oral-defensive and hasn't taken any type of medications since he was a toddler, but has been prescribed 500 mg Depakote Sprinkles 2x/day. He hasn't started meds yet because the doctor just ordered it and the pharmacy we use didn't have it in stock, so it has to come from a different location and I am waiting for them to call that it is ready for pick-up. It has not been determined as the cause of the seizure, but the MRI also showed an arachnoid cyst measuring 4.7 cm x 3.5 cm x 8.6 cm beginning near the front and going along almost the whole right side of his head. Luckily, it is NOT in immediate need of removal, but will be watched closely. The idea of possibly needing surgery in the future has him really freaked out.He is our only child. Due to his sensory disorder, he has trouble being around other people and by his own choice he has no friends. Public school was a nightmare for him so he is in a Virtual High School where he attends teacher-led classes online and I am his Home Learning Coach. I am with him almost all the time so I am the main one handling appointments and trying to help him cope.
