EEG

Well the EEG went pretty good. He had to be "sleep deprived" because they need to see the mind alert, getting sleep and at rest (asleep). When we went in he had to lay on a bed while the technician attached about 15-20 metal wires to his head. They use a paste and a small piece of gauze to attach it. Chet had to hold his body and arms still while I held his head. This of course caused him to scream like crazy. It tore at both of us to see him carrying on that way. He stopped only momentarily when I whistled, he liked that for about a minute then screamed some more. Once she had all of them in place she wrapped gauze around all of it to keep it in place.

Chet laid on the bed with him to keep him calm and from squirming. The light was turned off and she flashed a strobe light at him several different times. After that she needed him to fall asleep. He wasn't. Eventually I left because he tends to do better falling asleep with Chet. Around 30 minutes later it was finished. The tech came and got me and I took a picture :) She removed all the stuff from his head then proceeded to scrub his head with a wet washcloth to get the paste out. He stayed asleep through all of it!

The technician told us that the dr would look at the results today and would call us if there was anything to be concerned about.

Thanks for your prayers :)
