Hello there. Sorry to know about your mother's condition. You have a very genuine question. But that will depend on also over some other factors Most important being What type of seizure disorder your mother has ? Also it's not like the children of all epileptic patients will get seizures too. You were seizure free and hopefully you will stay so. Best wishes.
