[epilepsy-kids] A book recommendation about epi surgery and after

Dear Friends: I just wanted you to know that I have found a new book that I cannot wait to start on. It is called "Seizure Free - From Epilepsy to Brain Surgery, I Survived and You Can Too!" by Leanne Chilton. I ordered it from Amazon.com two days ago and here it is already in my lap. Here is a brief description of the book. "The compelling account of courage and hope is as good as medicine. Seizure Free is an inspiring and very personal story of a young Texas woman who endured epilepsy--and prevailed...Chilton went through several personal hells, for sure. Ands she speaks to the reader about them...We learn intimate and informative details about how to get through seizures and brain surgery. And get on with your life...She tells what likely caused her problem, she shares the humiliation, and she takes readers though the life of a victim. The impact on loved ones, the secrets to keep, learning to trust doctors, the importance of support system...Readers learn details about MRI, CAT, PETT, EEG and other diagnostic tools...Then readers feel the forging of a new person, a new future, This book shares life on every page." Well, that is it in a nutshell. I was going to wait to share after I read it, but realized I know many who are searching for information on this specific subject. I hope this helps to those looking into epi surgery. By the way, it was $12.95. OK...off to the couch to read my book... Tonee
