GOOD NEWS....The neurologist came out to update us on the progress of the surgery.  She said that they took out the abnormal part of brain tissue, and then applied the electrodes to see if they could find anymore abnormal brain waves.  She said that they placed the electrodes all around the area and inside where they resected and even farther away from the site, and still found NO ABNORMAL brain waves.  This is good news, because it means that she will probably be cured.  There is no 100% guarantee, but the prognosis right now is good.  She may still have seizures for 3-4 months post-op because of the trauma to the brain from the surgery itself, and then we'll be able to determine if she'll be seizure free.  All we can do now is wait and see, and pray.  We want to thank everyone again for all the prayers, love and thoughts.  We'll update you further on her post-op progress either later this evening or tomorrow morning. 
Love, hugs and kisses.....Marilena and Eric
