[QUOTE="liltreasures, post: 140640, member: 4957"] We used to go to the MIND Institute (UC Davis, about 1 1/2 hours away), but 8 years had passed with-o any testing and continued seizures. We happened upon an adult epileptologist who felt difficult child would be a good candidate for surgery. Within three months, he had had an MRI, PET scan, and been in the EMU (epilepsy monitoring unit) through the Sutter Neuroscience Institute. difficult child [I]really[/I] loved the Sutter hospital/people. When the neurosurgeon showed us the MRI, I was totally shocked. The right temporal lobe was now smooth and completely non functioning, not at all the way it looked when he was 4. The pediatrician. neuro (Sutter Neuroscience Inst.) is also on the American Board of Psychiatrists, so I'm hoping that means he has experience on the psychiatry end of things. We will see him next month to rehash the medication issues. He didn't see difficult child before the surgery, so he is having to start from scratch. I plan to ask him about revisiting the Trileptal. I forgot to say that when difficult child was younger (7?) we tried Risperdal and Zyprexa and both times he had ocular gyric crisis. So when the Abilify was suggested, I was tentative about giving it to him. But he seems to be fine. [/QUOTE]
