When my daughter was 18 months old, she started having seizures. An MRI taken at Children's Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama, revealed a large tumor in her left temporal lobe. The tumor was benign, but Emily's seizures were not controlled with medication. She underwent three surgeries to have the tumor removed, and she has been seizure-free for two years. She's a happy, healthy five year old, thank goodness.
I anticipate talking a lot about this experience here, so just to get you up to speed (and to force you to listen to Cyndi Lauper, which everyone must do from time to time), follow this link for an audio montage about the ordeal.

It makes me cry every time I listen to it. It seems so far away from your life now, but in those dark days did we ever think that we'd ever begin sentences with, "Remember when Emily had the tumor..."
Oh happy day that we think of it in the past tense.
