Sydneys EEG

  Sydney and I headed in for her EEG.  She did pretty good while they hooker her up to all the probes.  They were doing the EEG to see if she was having small seizures that we were unaware of.  So she stayed on all her medications as normal. 

 My little Q-tip

 If anyone doesn't know about Snap'n Style dolls they are wonderful.  They entertained her for hours each day.

For those that don't know how this EEG works here it is .. . She has about 15 or so little probes glued to her head then wrapped in the q-tip hat to help stay in place.  Each probe reads a different part of the brain that does different things.  She is attached to a computer with is on the back wall  and the black thing on the cealing videos sound and movie.  The lights stay on the entire time and if there is an "event" you push a button and the lights turn brighter and tv shuts off and it puts a marker on the computer for the Dr. to look at. Pretty much her brain is monitored for 3 days straight.  

I was so excited to have Carter and Kate come to the hospital, Sydney would get so excited!  They usually can't come due to RSV restrictions, but with Carters play off game one night and then both kids getting the flu the next night (Neil was a trooper with the 2am vomiting) I was soooo bummed! Evi was a treat that came with ice-cream and all!!!          

                                                                                       The worst part is taking off the stuff!

She did great, no seizures were spotted which is good, but there is a little more confusion with that.  But it is done and we are thrilled!!!
