For you, Sarah, and for your Mom, this represents a burden lifted. May you see good things begin to shower around you in times to come, and may your eval come back with a positive to proceed with the trial. It is really the trial that is the tell all of the diagnostic conundrum leading up to the potential for permanent implant. The eval is, as Jackie so aptly framed it, a diagnostic means to help determine those who may have other issues which should first be sorted out or those with unrealistic expectations.
ASAP,
