I just read your post about the problems you are having with your daughters. As I am only 23 and not a parent, I can't offer you any help or advice - I don't have the necessary experience. But I can offer you my support. I can also remind you that young girls are just plain caddy - don't take it personally! Love and support comin your way :)

Hi Kim,
I have complex partial seizures. When I first got them in 2001 it was only grand mal seizures & over the years it changed, but as of 2006 it worsened & I don't think I should drive. My doctor doesn't say I can't drive but I don't want to hurt anyone by mistake. I recently saw my neurologist & he said the only thing we can do is try another medication if I'm willing. So when I see him in January I'll try what he prescribes for me & pray that I'm not allergic to it.
One lady that I works in the same building as I do had surgery done for her seizures also. Her seizures were getting worse & then she couldn't drive & luckily for her her father is a retired surgeon so he has all kinds of connections so she flew up to the mainland for it.
I'll mention having surgery to my neurologist when I see him in January & see what he says.
I do appreciate your advise & would enjoy getting to know you more. Have you been to Hawaii?
Aloha,
Raydeen 
Get Well Soon!
get well soon i hope u ant got that flu thats goin around here take care of ur self
