EEG is normal

The picture is from the EEG test on Tuesday. She did so good. I can't believe how well she did. We told her every day for the 3-4 days or so coming up to the appt about what was going to happen. I wanted her to be prepared and not scared of anything.

We told her that they were going to put stickers on her head and then have different colored wires coming out of each sticker (sensor).

The day of the test, once those were applied the tech wrapped her head in gauze so that they would not move while she slept. Before she took her nap, Phillip laid in the bed with her. The tech left the room and put a strobe light near her face. This was to test if any lights triggered anything. He did multiple sets of strobe lights at different speeds about 12 times. It didn't seem to bother her that much. It was Phil that was getting annoyed. :)

After that (about 2-3 minutes worth) she was to blow a pinwheel to make it spin. This was to see if hyperventilating triggered anything.

Once those two short tests were done (the tech was looking at the scan from another room) she was to try and nap. I say try b/c I wasn't sure if she was going to sleep with all the stuff on her head and plus I think she was a little scared. Well, what does momma know? Not 2 minutes later, she and Phillip were fast asleep.

Phillip only slept a few minutes. He then got up (she didn't move a muscle) and made some coffee in the family lounge. The sleep portion was suppose to take about an hour. That was the fastest 50 minutes- hour EVER.

After it was all done, we were to wake her up. Not an easy task as she was sleeping pretty hard.

Whew...... we were done. We got all the sensors out of her hair as she was crying a bit from being so tired. BUT...as we walked out she said in a sad tone, "Do I still get to go play?" There was a little play area on the first floor that we told her she could play on after the test.

We knew she was waking up a bit and feeling better b/c as Phillip lay backwards over one of the play things to stretch his back she says, "Daddy, stop being so weird."

That's my girl...............

We got the results back from Ryan's EEG. Nothing showed up and everything looked normal. We are so excited. However, Dr Ashworth wants us to see a Neurologist just to see if there is anything that we could possibly do to help prevent the seizures. If anyone, a Neurologist would know. So we are going to make the appt and see what he/she says.

So needless to say, we are so happy that nothing is wrong neurolically. However, the seizures are still possible from fevers until she grows out them. We will hopefully get a few more answers as if they are harmful when she has them and if there is anything more that we can do to help prevent them.


























~My birthday dinner at Chuck E Cheese. We told Ryan that since she was such a big girl and did great during the test, we would go to Chuck E Cheese.

Hay Hay called me Wed to see if I would like to go to a MAVS game. Well.....duh!!

She gets tickets from work and she was so nice to ask me if I wanted to go. We went 4 years ago when I was pregnant. We had a blast both times. However this time, Ryan wanted to be in the picture. So this is on our way out the door. They lost against the Lakers, but we had a great time.
