Hello Sir, My Fiancee Had A Seizure 20 Days Ago

Hello Sir,

My fiancee had a seizure 20 days ago and it affected on right part of her body. After followed up with doctor he suggested MRI test. In MRI report she has been diagnosed with Neurocysticercosis. There is a larval cyst in left part of her brain which caused edema. Doctor suggested her to take albendazole to kill the larval cyst and some anti epileptic medicine to control seizure and some steroids to control edema. So she started taking these medication and after second day she again had a seizure and this time her left part of the body affected. Also she had partial paralysis including facial palsy due to this seizure. Again she visited to doctor and he increased her dose and also suggested physiotherapy to recover from partial paralysis. Also he said, she has to continue her anti-elliptic medication for 3 years to control seizures. Doctor suggested her for complete rest of 2-3 months with some instruction like sleep 8 hours in a day, do not watch TV, do not use headphones, travel after putting cottons in the ears, do not go near loud sound DJ.

Actually, we are going to be marry after 2 months. Now I am worried about, what happen if she will have seizure again. Should we postpone the marriage?
If I will get marry to her then what are the challenges that I have to face in my life. Will it affect on our married life ?

Kindly suggest. Thanks.
