Hunter's EEG

Eariler this month Hunter had an EEG done. This tests for seizure activity. A week later we found out the test was normal and he is not having seizures. Hooray!

This test was ordered because his pediatrician observed some behavior that was concerning. We did not feel like he was having seizures but it was reassuring to get a normal result.

Hunter had to be sleep deprived to have the test becuase he had to sleep during it. He went to bed the night before 2 hours late and we woke him up 2 hours early. I rode in the backseat of the van so he wouldn't fall asleep on the ride.

Tyler talked to Hunter to keep him awake and as happy as possible while they prepped him for the test. They put 23 probe things on his head and then wrapped it with gauze so they wouldn't come off. Then I fed him a little bottle and he went right to sleep. He did so good and it was over in about 30 minutes.







You were so brave Hunter! Way to go!

The one with his head all bandaged looks so sad! Glad the results were good.
