My son...I will post it here then.....

Blondie can move it. I'm getting a lot of questions about my son that I have posted in Family but no one seems to see the answers. So, I will post here just this one time and then it can be moved.
It's a real rollercoaster with him. The Neurosurgeon and the Neurologist disagree that surgery to remove the seizure activity can be done. The Neurosurgeon says it's in an area where there are too many blood vessels. The Neurologist says it's not there. But, now, he has to prove it.
David will be put in the hospital November 28 for a "Watta" test. It's an all day thing. They will put half his brain too sleep, then the other half. This is to show where blood vessels are.
Based on this test, then he will be admitted to have the surgery to remove part of his skull to put electrodes right on his brain for 2 to 3 days.
If the neurologist proves surgery can remove the seizure activity then, they wil do the surgery then. If he can't, then he will undergo a second surgery to replace the part of the skull removed.
If they can not do the surgery, then they will talk to David about an implant they can put into his neck and chest to catch seizures before they start.
The problem with this is that David is very atheletic and that would curtail his softball and flag football.
So, that's where we are now.
Thanks for letting me post this here. I understand if it is moved to Family. I just wanted it here briefly so all could see it.

I'm praying for your son, Mitzi.

Thanks, Thalia. It's been pretty tough. His condition is worsening so the neurologist wants things done as quickly as possible.
To top it off, my husband los his job of 25 years 6 months ago and has not found another one yet. I feel so bad for him. He's so depressed.

I'm hoping for the best for your son, Mitzi.

Thank you, Naomi....We are still waiting and it's hard. David's headaches are worsening but I think it's stress, not from the tumor.

Thanks so much. Right now, the neurosurgeon and neurologist disagree right now. The neurosurgeon doesn't think he can operate safely but the neurologist thinks it can be done. Right now, my son is going to go by what the neurosurgeon says since he would be soing the surgery. But his neurologist is very sharp and I think he will find some way to help David.
I certainly hope so. He can't drive right now and we spend 2 hours everyday just getting him back and forth to work. It's exhausting. Luckily, his friends are good about coming to get him. They don't treat him any differently either. I went to see a softball game he was in and the whole team had to walk out on the field. I could tell my son was having a seizure because he started walking in circles. I was amazed to see his best friend just go over, take his arm and pull him into their little huddle, even tho David had no idea what was going on! lol When they went back to the dugout, David resisted and tried to go the other way. This big guy on the team never missed a beat. He just threw David over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and kept walking and talking all the way to the dug out! LOL! When he got to the dugout, he sat him on the bench and just sat there with his hand on his shoulder til the seizure was over, talking to the other guys. It was amazing, really. My son is lucky to have such wonderful friends. And he played the whole game too! He started to go into what I call his quiet mode because he realized he had had a seizure and was embarassed. But, they won't let him do that. They grab his glove and tell him to get his a** out on the field. lol!
