Jana- I have always been told that seizures and sleep go hand in hand. You
aren't the first person that has told me that there child has out grown the bad
mornings. Maybe with the diet and time Taylor will do the same.
Thanks Keri

Hi Keri, There is just something linked between sleep and seizures.
It is amazing how common the early morning wake up seizures are. I
don't have any advice for you. My son used to have morning seizures
and he doesn't anymore. I think things just changed as he grew.
Hopefully the diet will help Taylor.
