August 15, 2007 Stephen McC. - Stephen survived the childhood brain cancer (see Brinda M.'s history of the Midwest and Tuscola). This year he had a Vegas Nerve Implant to control seizures. Brinda writes, " It could take up to 2 years to see if the implant is going to do all we want it to. His body has to get used to the “feelings” he gets every 5 minutes 24/7 and then increase the stimulation about every 3 months. I do think it has helped slightly, but not enough to reduce any medications etc. at this point. He sees the Dr. at the end of the month to increase the stimulation—if he feels he can adjust to it. It will be a time factor and we will just have to play it out to see if it will do what we want."
