A new challenge for my sweet Angel ~ Scotty

The past few months have been a trial for Scotty as well as the rest of us in our family.  

You see... Scotty has developed Grand Mal seizures out of the blue. When we were finally able to get him to the Neurologist she put him on Keppra for his seizures. We had so many Insurance issues getting the meds and when we finally got it Scotty wouldn't take it. I was able to leave a message for the neurologist to ask if they could put him on Depakote sprinkles and they called me and said they were faxing it in right then and there. Well... it took a week and a half for us to get that one as well and I finally ended up paying for it because Insurance wasn't cooperating. Scotty is now on Depakote and so far so good. 
The seizures are heart wrenching for me. I hold him close and tell him I'm right there and cry like a baby.  

How many more challenges will this sweet innocent soul have to endure? Scotty is a smart bright little boy. He is so much fun to watch on the computer at school. You see... they have a touch screen computer that he's very efficient at and knows how to run very well.
