Thank you for the comment. Unfortunately the neurologist offered no alternative plans and I was actually offended and upset with her asking me how I planned to control his seizures if we dont do vns. I thought that was the doctors job. I dont have the knowledge to do so and I am sure there are many people out there that did not go the vns route. Ultimately we only want what's best for our son. We have a consult with a surgeon next month to hear what he has to say but we are planning on getting a second opinion. There must be other options than vns or surgery.
Thank you,
