    About Me

    I'm a stay at home of one lively 7 year old boy. I live in a small rural town in Nevada, and have been married to my wonderful understanding husband for 10 years. I am going on 2 1/2 years of neurological problems including EP and Chiari. I was decompressed for a Chiari malformation in May 06'. I was diagnosed with complex partial seizures in Dec 06', and at the time was having around 12 per day. The seizures remained intractable--and on march 28th I had grids placed and March 31st a right temporal lobectomy. As of today i am SEIZURE FREE!!
