11-month-old infant with infantile spasms and cerebral palsy

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation, following your instructions:
He suffers from infantile spasms and cerebral palsy (left hemiplegia). After taking some medication, the frequency of his (nodding) spasms related to infantile spasms is now zero to once daily. He has been on the medication for nearly three months. Now, when he is tickled, he often laughs out loud, sometimes screams loudly, and sometimes makes a "cooing" sound as if he wants to talk. His eyes can track objects 180 degrees. With adult support using perhaps one-third of his total body strength, he can walk, although he doesn't hold anything in his left hand, but he does show some intention to pick things up.

It is only possible to consider stopping the medication if they do not have any attacks for more than two years. Doctor's inquiry:
