delayed surgery results

My son had a resection in the R frontal lobe for cortical dysplasia 8 months ago. Since surgery, he's had szs. but less frequent and not as long. We've been playing with meds. every other month or so. We've been on the same 2 drugs, but weaned one down and increased the other. He now has gone 30 days without a sz. and I can't help but think (I know it's a long shot)that maybe it's going to work now. I know that most likely we're in a honeymoon period. He went 33 days without a sz. within the first month after surgery and you can only imagine how devasted we were when he started szing. again. Anybody out there with miracle stories and a delayed positve outcome? My doctor did say that usually you know the outcome within 6 months, but I know that it takes up to 1 yr. for the brain to heal. I want to be realistic, but it's so hard to face the fact that he wasn't cured. It's been a long road for sure. Cheryl
