Monitoring epilepsy: One man's story

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - Anyone living with epilepsy knows that dealing with seizures and other things associated with the disease can sometimes keep you from living your life to the fullest.  Rachael introduces us to an inspiring young man who underwent surgery at St. Mary's Hauenstein Neuroscience Center where they have a comprehensive epilepsy monitoring unit.  The surgery not only dramatically changed his life, it's offering hope to many others.  Paul Wiersma keeps in touch with his doctors and many staff members at St. Mary's. You do have to follow strict and specific guidelines to have an epilepsy monitoring unit at a hospital, staff that's specially trained, and a facility that meets the highest qualifications.  For more information about the epilepsy monitoring unit at The Hauenstein Neuroscience Center , visit  their website . You can also talk with someone about your epilepsy needs by calling 616.685.5488.
