The Georges in Peru

Probably the most positive result of Amy's surgery has been her cessation of seizures.  She had been having seizures about every 2 or 3 days and now she hasn't had one since her surgery!  Praise God for that!  So we asked her neurologist's nurse when he recommends tapering off seizure medicine after surgery.  The nurse said, "Oh, usually after 2 years!"  Bummer.  We were hoping for sooner.  I checked the literature and see that 2 years is a pretty common time-frame for post-surgical cessation of seizure meds, so I'm less hopeful that we can stop the medicines, but still thankful to see the seizures stopped for the moment.

Amy walked 16 miles last week for those who keep track of that sort of thing!
