EEG

I'm home and all done with my EEG. Mommy and I got there around 8:30 in the morning. A very nice man took us into a room and hooked me up to 30 wires. I had 27 on my head, two on my chest and one around my stomach. Once all the wires were attached, he wrapped my head up so I wouldn't try to pull them out. Then mommy and I just played. Daddy was able to come a little bit later and play with us. He brought me a little teddy bear, "Brownie," to help me get through the day. He is so soft. Thanks Daddy!! I love you!

Within the first hour, I had a few twitches. Then I tried to take a nap but it was so hard to sleep with so many wires attached to me. After my short nap, we played some more and I had a few more twitches. I'm so glad that all my twitches were marked (mommy had to push a button every time I had one to mark it on the computer). I took another little nap in mommy's arms and when I got up I was able to go home. The wires were all taken off of me and then daddy gave me a bath to get all the goop off my head used to stick on the electrodes. We left the doctor's office at 2:30.

Now, we just wait for the doctor to call with the results. I promise to let you know as soon as I hear something. Thanks for all your prayers today!

My wires are hidden inside the tail of what looks like a hat!
You can't see it in the picture, but at the end of the hat is a machine inside a stuffed Tigger.
So, Tigger followed me around all morning!

  3. I am so bummed that sweet Abby had to be hooked up to a bunch of wires, but that super long hat is hilarious! She is absolutely adorable and getting so big--can't wait to see you in May (once we set a date!)
