From what you have said about the doctors, I am quite impressed with just how careful they have been to make sure they could isolate the part of the brain causing the problems -- the tests, the mapping, checking memory, checking memory function again....those are the kind of docs you want. <br /><br />As far as the jealousy factor for the other kids, I think that will go away really quickly once they see his huge scar. LOL. Ben will have you during the day. The other kids will still get lots of your attention after school. If you guys want to have some time out with the other 3 once Ben is home, I'd be glad to bring Taylor with me to keep Ben company since I'm sure he'll be down for a while at home still. The 2 could play video games.<br /><br />TaraFiddlefishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18330816256210065026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6285421527511049872.post-53317867689149968212010-09-03T17:34:51.284-06:002010-09-03T17:34:51.284-06:00Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.

I love the picture of little Benny. I think I would have made the same decision if I were in your shoes.

We are looking forward to him having a seizure-free future that will lead to independence, driving, a mission, marriage, and then you'll be an old grandma! I have faith that this surgery/our prayers/fasting will heal him. Hang in there!Jenny and Evanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322504195921323424noreply@blogger.com
