Good news, bad news

There's good news and bad news on the Switzerland surgery front.  The good news is Dr. Jeanmonod has gotten approval for his procedure and is ready to proceed (http://www.sonimodul.ch/atelier/index.cgi?path=MainTopic_about_SoniModul&B&News&&s=en&&key=&&id=).  The bad news is it will be at least another six months or a year before he will be working with patients with Epilepsy, including Josh. Ugh! It's very disappointing and frustrating.

It is likely that Josh will be one of -- if not the first -- patient with Epilepsy to have this procedure done.  You know I love baseball metaphors, so I'm hoping Josh becomes the Tommy John of Epilepsy. So, in future cases of refractory Epilepsy, a doctor might recommend that a patient have The Josh surgery done! Wouldn't that be nice?
