I am so glad you made this video. We are getting ready for a corpus callosotomy with our 2 year old! Thank you!!

My 4 year old daughter has drug resistant epilepsy and a genetic brain disorder so although we know she’s very unlikely to be seizure free from it, that 50-75% reduction sounds amazing !!! It’s a 2 year wait list in the UK though :(

[@DefeatingEpilepsyFoundation]

I'm so sorry that it is so long of a wait. I have found that healthcare is becoming harder and harder to receive in a reasonable time. A lot of my friends in the UK have told me how challenging it is becoming over there. I hope that your daughter can receive the treatment in time.

My 3 year son has IS , and now he is getting several head drops in a day he is been advised this surgery , just wanted to ask as my son has development delay and speech delay can that be achieved through therapies after the surgery

[@DefeatingEpilepsyFoundation]

One of the resources I found suggested a CT Speech and Cognitive Therapy App, but it was not free. I would ask your son's physician if there are any resources he can use to help in recovery similar that you wouldn't have to pay for. One other thing that was recommended was physical and occupational therapy.
