Seizures and surgery: views on removing part of brain to stop them?

Hi! My son also had surgery at Mayo in February 2017 and today we are here at Rochester Saint Mary’s Hospital and he is having another video eeg monitoring. It’s not easy at all, but we have to decide what is going to be his next step, although he continues having spells. Maybe another surgery will be necessary. We are really afraid!
But we will continue hoping he will be fine...

I'm thinking of you and your family, @patrassi. It's not an easy decision you face, but I'm confident that you and the expert team at Mayo Clinic will weigh the options carefully and make the decision that is needed for your son. Good luck with the monitoring. Remember the feedback that you and other Connect members gave to the nurses at the monitoring unit here? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/been-to-an-epilepsy-monitoring-unit-whats-it-like/ They are very compassionate even more so having heard feedback from parents and patients.
