Susan, i have been researching VNS very extensively for my son Mike.
After consultations wiht doctors and representatives at cyberonics,
we have decided to get the VNS for mike. Our doctor thinks he is a
very good candidate and we are very excited about his potential with
VNS. We actually have an appointment on thursday to make final plans
and arrangements for his operation. we are have found that VNS has a
very large upside, and if you are considering it you should by all
means gather as much information as you can. Please ask me all the
questions you would like, i will try and respond with as much info as
i can (as of now i have no real experience with the VNS). thanks and
take care.

Ben
