benign brain tumour in my 3 year old daughter

July 2, 2006 2:57pm CST
my daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2003 and it was subsequently removed at the johns hopkins by dr ben carson. i live in nairobi, kenya with my child and she is ok other than the fact that she is still on rivotril and tegretol . her schooling has been adversely affected due to her hyperactivity but now i have seen a doctor who has changed her diet dramatically i took her for auditory intergration programme here in nairobi and have hired a teacher to come and teach her at home , she is now 6 years old and is learning for the first time , she knows her numbers and will be reading by the end of this month, she is doing the A.B.E.C.A system and in september will start on the A.C.E system. i just wanted to know if there is anything else that i can try , she is truly a remarkable little girl and very very smart before the diagnosis at 3 years she was already speaking in two languages.

Johns Hopkins is a wonderful institution. They recently opened a $60 million hospital in Panama City, Panama. They perform all types of surgeries there. I found out about them via a great site www.panamacosmeticsurgery.com
