[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 194661, member: 3444"] Thanks, ladies :) Loth, he's on Lamictal for the seizures (we just serendipitously discovered it helped his mood). The cause of the seizures the first time was a cluster of abnormal capillaries called a cavernous hemangioma -- they essentially leak blood which irritates the surrounding tissue and causes the seizures. They removed the first one, but also found a smaller one not far from it. They were both sprouting off an abnormal vein (DVA or developmental venous anomaly) that often causes these. The vein cannot be removed because it is functional (unless they just resect the whole area). It's the second cavernoma that I fear has had a more significant bleed this time. :( [/QUOTE]
