There are many different types of seizure medications and not all meds work for all people. If your child is taking medication that is causing other health problems and yet he is continuing to have seizures, it doesn't make sense to continue taking them. I know nothing about Scientology, but I know that seizures are not considered a "mental health" issue and mental health issues are what the Scientologists don't seem to be willing to acknowledge. The Travolta's have acknowledged other health issues, so I don't believe that they simply let their son go untreated. I am sure that whatever decisions they made regarding their sons medication were not made lightly, and were not made without the help of a doctor. There is nothing worse in this world, as far as I am concerned, than to lose your child. I cannot imagine having to go through that gut-wrenching grief and pain with the world watching and judging. I ache for them.

What a great post Dmpl and ITA.

I also think there is a horrendous amt of speculation about the Travolta's and how they treated their son etc. From what I can see they have a strong will to keep their private life PRIVATE. So no one really knows anything about them other than the nonsense we read.

There is however no doubt that they loved their son and my heart breaks for the pain they must be feeling.
