EEG



I brought Ali to the Neurologist today for an EEG becuase of her headaches.  I am happy to report that everything was normal on the EEG.  Ali was quite nervous going to the doctor and then seeing the boy before her with all the wires to his head didn't help her nervousness.  When it was her turn she clung to me but did allow the doctor to put the electrodes on her head without making a sound.  Ali is a bit like a deer in the headlights when she is scared. She stays completely still and doesn't make a sound.  After about the first ten minutes of the EEG though she relaxed a little and started talking.  By the end of the EEG she even let go of me so I could take her picture.

Hunter just had one done and it looks a bit different than the one you did. Ours was tiny probes that they attatched to his head with little stickers. He had about 50 of them on his head. Ours was also sleep deprived so he had to stay up all night so he would fall asleep during the EEG.
Very interesting to see how different some things are in medicine.
