DD is 11 now and has epilepsy, but only had 2 hospitalised seizures. She does have alot of absences though. All i can say is it is all still very new and scary. With the correct meds kids can stay seizure free. You will learn to read the signs and hopefully have a near normal life. The downsides to travelling, especially to USA is the travel insurance. Nearer the time when you are ready you can look around for this but i would wait until you are a few years seizure free and away from hospital admissions. DD first fit was at 5 so not a baby, but still a scary time as they couldnt find reason for it. There may be lots of scans investigations etc along the way, but you will hopefilly get there. X
