EEGGGGGGGGGGGGGG



taking measurements
nodes are almost all in place
ready to go
waking up, all done

approximately every year, eli has an EEG. he has benign rolandic epilepsy which was diagnosed when he was about 3.

the great thing is he hasn't had a seizure since a couple of weeks after ida was born. this hasn't been the first time he has gone for a long stretch seizure-free. he has had a few good stints, but we always have to be cautious and on our toes until we get a all clear from his neurologist. you see, he is supposed to grow out of this condition which makes us hopeful and we can't wait until that day comes.

today he had his annual EEG. he always thinks it is going to hurt, but of course it doesn't. the only goofy part about the appointment is the state in which he has to show up. sleep deprived. he has to stay up till midnight the night before and wake at 4:00 AM the next morning. he did great today. we should find out the results soon. we are crossing our fingers. would be soooo amazing to hear good news. we'll see.

these pics bring back memories of Cole. they put the nodes on, i breast fed him and he fell a sleep. i rocked him until it was done.

i hope you come out with the same results as we did this time.
