I’m not one to promote epilepsy surgery but since the seizure focus is known, Have you considered surgery? They say temporal lobe surgery is the most successful. I have frontal lobe couple epilepsy and declined surgery several times. I believe there's always some type of complications related to epilepsy surgery. @santosha has used alternative treatments and reduced her intractable seizures significantly. I'm not very familiar with Chinese medicine treatments like Gastrodia elata but there may be something to it.
Have you tried Epidiolex? Since the Depakote helped to some degree why was it discontinued?
Fingers crossed you get into the monitoring unit.
Best of luck,
Jake
