EEG

We had another EEG today just to make sure there isn't anything more than febrile seizures going on with Cade. Most children will outgrow febrile seizures by 5 years, and there is no correlation that febrile seizures cause epilepsy. So we are praying for another normal EEG & holding our breath until he outgrows this!

In theory, the test should be easy since Cade sleeps through it all. (This photo was taken just at the end when we were waking him up.) In reality, getting him to sleep in the middle of the morning in a strange place requires him to be sleep deprived by staying up 2 hours past his usual bedtime & waking up 2 hours before his usual waketime, then keep him awake all morning & in the car on the way. Then, try to get a toddler to curl up in your lap in a doctor's office with a strange lady sitting in the room with the computer monitors on & people walking up & down the hall just outside the door. Finally, after he's asleep the technician proceeds to scrub & place some 20+ electrodes all over his head & chest. I guess I'm saying if you could see me on the other end of the camera, it'd be even scarier! :) Cade was a trooper & did great. We'll get results soon...keep us in your prayers!
