His neurologist said they were febrile convulsions. Due most likely to other developmental issues (he's 34 now, and in a superb group home), Rob took longer than usual to get past them. He still gets annual trips to the neurologist.

Oh I see. I'm somewhat similar in that I was expected to outgrow my seizures about two years ago, and still am, but I have other issues myself which I won't delve into right now that are prolonging my epilepsy. I can always try weaning off my meds and see what happens, but the reality is that the human brain undergoes some more development until around the ages of 24-26 (I turn 20 in April) that are likely to lower my seizure threshold. So in the next few years I should know if I'll be living with this the rest of my life or not.

Hang in there. It's a tough road.
