We were very poor and took him to a state run hospital. Also, he had never talked...not a word. The doctors put him on Phenobarbital, which he took for about a year, then was weaned off. He never had any more seizures and began talking one day in complete sentences. My baby brother who was a year older often teased my nephew about the head banging. Well, bottom line, my nephew was the first kid in our family to graduate (with highest honors) from college. He's now a detective in Austin, Texas. To this day I can see his suffering as a child and how worried we all were. I was a teenager at the time.
