Guest guest Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Not for six months in this state. But if he has another, or more of them… we will certainly have to reevaluate.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 In the state of North Carolina where I am. You have to be seizure free for 6mths in order to get your license or to get them back.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 So sorry! What a disappointment, but more than that, how scary! When my 6 year old was a baby, he had what I thought might be a seizure and it scared me to death (he got very still and just blankly stared off into space, even when I moved my hand in front of his face. lasted about 20-30 seconds). This happened twice and when I took him to the doctor and they did the test, they found nothing. It never happened again, but I often wonder if it might. > > > Hello all - > > > > My son Sam turned 16 on friday. Passed his road test and became a licensed > driver.
