it's all about balance

Any thing extreme can cause seizures. For instance, bright colors sometimes cause seizures. Bright light. It's hard to take him to stores and restaurants because he gets over stimulated which causes seizures. Illness makes him much more susceptible, a high fever can cause seizures. When he's sick then his body can't absorb his seizure medication the way he normally would leaving him at greater risk. And excitement. Over activity. Too much for too long. And under activity, not enough to keep his mind and body going. What kind of day is it going to be? Right now, the color blue does it for him. We have to take care not to buy him clothes and toys that are blue. Like the sort of Thomas the Tank Engine blue. He loves to play. If he's having a bad seizure week, it's a tough call saying he can't play.
