Not to mention most seizure meds carry a long list of side effects, many dangerous ones at that, where it may seem that an occasional seizure would be less damaging than the side effects of the meds. I believe whatever they decided to do (medicate or not) they did because they thought it was in the best interest of their child, and I am sure they researched it well because they seem responsible like that.
I have said before I don't care for the Travolta's, but this is one subject I can see their side on. |

While I have nothing against the Travolta's, I belive they have alway's had Jett's best interest in mind. I have a Seizure disorder and my medication does not alway's prevent them. I have not drove a car in 12 years because I have no clue when one will strike me. Medication works differently on each person. We do not know their reasons for taking him off the meds, what if he had reactions to it? I feel so bad that they lost their son, its very tragic for this to of happen at all.
