We had Hailey's EEG done at St. Lukes on Monday. It was quite traumatic for her... she hates her head being touched. As you can see in the pictures, they did a lot to her. First she had 25 electrodes glued to her head and one to her neck just under her chin. Second, they covered each one with paper tape to keep it on her head. Last, they bandaged her head all up to hold the electrodes firmly in place. I had to keep her sleep deprived (very difficult to do) and then she slept thru the first 20 minutes of her test. Then, I was suppose to wake her up (yeah right.. she's a deep sleeper) while they flashed lights in her face for about 5minutes with no breaks. I won't know any results from the testing for at least a week.
Our poor baby!!
Here's the pictures:

oh - poor baby! And the worst is taking that stupid tape off - since you KNOW, as gentle as they try to be, they're pulling her hair! Same thing happened to Gracie when she spent a week in the hospital and had an IV put in her head. It was traumatic for me! BUT - luckily, the people who work with little babies like that really ENJOY their job and are SO good at what they do! I hope that all comes back well! Talk to you soon!
yup... that looks gay... sorry i was not there
