[epilepsy] second surgery for our son

Hi everyone,

Yesterday we met with the Neurosurgeon to perform our sons second front temporal lobe surgery.

He is 21, diagnosed with complex partial seizures 11 years ago. After living with up to 18 seizures a day, he had his first brain surgery 5 years ago next month. In the first year he didnt even have 10 seizures. Very slowly, despite medications of every combination and doseage, seizures crept back into his life.

So now as a soon to be college senior, he has had enough. He said, "Mom, I am done with epilepsy." So now we are on this path to do it again.

Please, if you have experiance and information to share about going through brain surgery a second time, I'd be so appreciated to receive it. Thank you in advance,

Deb
