How will we know if it worked? We will know this week if the procedure was successful in "ablating" the intended parts of the thalamus. Dr. J is targeting four spots, each 3-4 mm each. He said it is possible that Josh will only need one procedure because they have gained more experience with the procedure and the equipment. Nevertheless, Dr. J. wants Josh to come back in one year for a follow-up, including a special EEG that's not done in the US.
Still, we won't really know if it worked for months, or a year, or more, according to Dr. J. It takes that long for the brain to "rebalance itself" after the procedure. I'll be posting more on the actual procedure soon. Today is an off day and we pla to go on a day trip to Bern.
