sleep deprived and ready
The EEG went well.
Robbie was not happy to have all the electrodes (25) pasted to his head and
then have his head wrapped in gauze but he did well. It only took him about 5 minutes to fall
asleep thanks to the sleep deprivation :)
After the test we went to lunch and the store, then back to
the dr for the results. The EEG showed
abnormal activity while awake and asleep.
The Dr said this means he is at risk for having seizures (not that he
currently is). We are to just keep an
eye open for it and he said we would know it if we saw it. We are also to keep a close eye on him while
he is climbing, playing on the playground equipment, swimming, etc., anywhere
where if a seizure occurs he could be hurt.
The Dr said he may never have one but we now know it is a
possibility. He also said this could be
contributing to his learning delays but not connected to his hypotonia. They did an autism screening as well and that
in combination with the Dr’s interaction, they do not believe he is autistic
but close and with continuing the path of therapy and improvement he is on even
that may be erased.
We go back for a follow up in 6 months to discuss any
changes or improvements that we note in him.
Happy boy after lunch
