> We had our 6 month appointment with our neurologist today.

One of my topics to discuss with her is that I want to get a second opinion from the Cleveland Clinic for Madalyn.

> I am very pleased that she is not only okay with us getting a second opinion on Madalyn's seizure management and it's impact on her behavior, but she is contacting someone at Cleveland Clinic and sending our EEG recordings for me.

> Below is a link that best describes the challenges of frontal lobe seizures and their management. It explains how sudden behavior changes can be seizures, and how hard it is to capture a lot of it on an EEG because of the size and location of the frontal lobe. It also describes the cognitive impairments people have when medicine is not controlling enough of the spiking (executive function, attention, hyperactivity, speed of processing). The article is the first I found that really describes the past year of our lives.
