Complex: Lennox-gastaut is very tough to fully control, and that is why we have many medications to choose from. Banzil, lamictal, maybe potiga, (ezogabine) could help, but a pediatric neurologist is indeed mandatory. You should discuss her milestones with that doc, but i would think these are merely delayed due to sz. Stem cells always come up as future remedies, but not ready yet, and not sure how much longer.
