Options

We do have options, although none seem as immediately promising as the ultra sound once was.

1. Wait for the engineers of the HIFUS equipment to solve the problem of Josh's thick skull (still no jokes, please).  This option could take a lot of time.

2. Gamma knife treatment. There is a facility in  Seattle that uses gamma knife treatments in a way that is similar to the ultra sound. Problem is it is not approved for epilepsy.

3. Autogenic training, mindfulness based cognitive therapy and self-healing.  Dr. J said along that Josh would need to do this, even if the procedure was successful. This option may not be effective in totally eliminating the seizures, but certainly  can only help Josh become happier.
