EEG

Andrielle had her EEG test on Friday (the test to check for seizures). Since they needed Andrielle to sleep for this study, I put her down to bed late and got her up at 5:30 am. I dropped Grayden off at my mom's and we went in at 10:30 am to Utah Valley Hospital. We had to wait about 45 minutes to actually get in for her testing. By this time, she is overly tired and cranky. She didn't want to sit still for the person performing the test and I think she got to the point that she was past sleepy and just really grumpy. She was screaming and crying and the lady left us hoping that I could get her to fall asleep. We tried turning on movies, singing songs, and I even layed by her in the hospital bed, but nothing we did would get her to sleep. Finally the lady came back in, we wrapped Andrielle up in a sheet with only her head sticking out and her arms pinned to her sides (all this while she's screaming). I ask if they have a Dora movie we could put on (they don't) but she did have a Winnie the Pooh movie. Andrielle has never watched Winnie the Pooh before, but the combination of the movie and her being completely worn out from crying and fighting us, she finally fell asleep. The tester lady was able to hook up all the little probes all over her head and shoulders, and Andrielle slept for the 30-minute long test. We left the hospital at around 2:30. We should have the test results back in the next day or two. Fingers crossed everything looks normal!

I feel so blessed that Grayden is such a good baby and for my parents who are so willing to take him for me so that I can go to all of these appointments with Andrielle. I don't know what I'd do without them!
