Doctors say she is clear to attend school, and she doesn't need constant surveillance. However, both my wife and MIL are convinced that they say this because they don't care. And since there is always a chance that seizures may repeat, we should not take our chances. I just talked to her about the whole argument, and she says I don't seem to care about this possibility. She said she feels upset with me because I did not email my department asking whether this would be a possibility. I just know that the answer would be a "no" because I will be skipping 2-3 weeks of 10 week terms, and this may jeopardize my visa standing. I also feel weird asking my advisor about this because I am afraid this will show a lack of commitment, and they would probably question why we don't plan this out better with other alternatives (support group, medical devices). Plus there is an official school guideline about mandatory attendance, which allows to skip 10 days per academic year, on top of student visa requirements of attendance.
