This is Tim's daughter Danielle, and I have seizures eye blinkies,
complexpartials, and I used to have grandmals. Then I got a Vegas Nerve
Stimulator,or a VNS. It sends messages to the brain to stop the seizure, but
it involves minor surgery.It did give me the ability to stop a seizure if
one started just by using a strong magnet. (but if you guys did decide on
that he couldnt get an MRI it would burn up inside.One time a doctor forgot
and almost had me get one.Then I realized i couldn't.)
