John's cold is better, and we're still not seeing any improved seizure control, so we made the gut-wrenching decision to start him on Felbatol last night. It should only take 3 weeks to get to the therapeutic dose, so we should know quickly if it is going to work or not.
We've spent the last 5 months trying to get rid of the drugs, so it was pretty tough to introduce a new drug at this point. But, we need to stop these seizures at all costs.
Felbatol is a scary drug, but I did an awful lot of research on it. I believe that this drug has the best chance of working for him, and potential benefits outweigh the risk.
