2 yr old with petit mal

Do petit mal or complex partial seizures with medication still always carry the risk of progressing into grand mal seizure activity? And will he grow out of it? How is this going to effect him learning in school? I just found out that my son has this, and I have so many concerns.

I am sorry to tell you that seizures can change  from just one kind, to also have many different type of seizures.And yes there is always that chance of progressing into grand mal seizures activity along with having other type of seizures.

some people do grow out of seizures and some have them there hole life.

And yes it will effect the learning for a child who has seizures,because they have a hard time remembering what they have learned ,due to having the seizures and not hearing what was said during the seizures.

let me know if there is anything eles you need to know and will help you with anything I can.

I am so sorry you and your child is going threw this and know how hard it  is on a family.

god bless your child and your family.and stay as strong as you can.
