At 6 Weeks Post Surgery

It's amazing that it has only been six weeks since Byron's surgery.  He is doing so well it is quite remarkable!  We have not seen any evidence of seizures which is amazing in and of itself, but Byron is SO much more present, alert and happy.  I imagine that, for him, there was a constant static or interference going on in his brain due to the malformation and spiking occurring almost constantly in his right right hemisphere.    Now, with a quiet brain, he can connect more with his heart, his good feeling and hopefully his intellect.  We have had a hard time getting the tutor here, she has missed two weeks already, but she is scheduled again to come on Monday.  I hope to hear from her that his academics are improved as well.  Byron has told us in the last two years that he "hates" school. I believe this is because, once the seizures started, it was simply exhausting to focus.

Here is a little video interview done today:
