EEG Done

Beautiful even with her stylish hat!

Alyssa's 24 hour EEG went well. We left home Saturday at 11 AM and arrived home on Sunday at 11 AM. My biggest concern was that even though Alyssa has been having multiple seizures every night for the past month, that she wouldn't have a single one for the test. I found myself praying for seizures that night and her little brain cooperated with at least 5 seizures that I was aware of. How crazy is it that I was praying for my daughter to have seizures? I guess that is what happens when you are desperate for some relief! :)

Alyssa handled the test well. She was a trooper with all of the leads on and her lovely head wear. ;) The first few hours were a little rough because it was on so tightly that it was giving her a massive head ache. After readjusting things a bit, the headache was resolved and then she didn't complain about it at all. Her favorite part was her room service meals. She LOVED being able to order anything that she wanted at any time. She particularly enjoyed the strawberry milkshake. The two of us watched movies, worked on a few crafts, and played some games. But most importantly, we snuggled as much as we wanted! The hospital isn't always where you want to be, but the snuggle time is definitely a perk. I have had snuggle time at the hospital with all three of my children now and that is absolutely the best part of being there!

Hopefully we will get results and a plan in a few days. We are ready. We are tired and ready for all of us to have an uninterrupted night of sleep. Oh what a dream that would be!

Alyssa got to visit with a therapy dog. He completely relaxed and would have slept all day on Alyssa's lap if he could have! :) He was so sweet!
