Wednesday morning

Gracin had an appointment with the Neurologist again. We went at the beginning of January, since then he had a CT scan and now he had the EEG done to record brain activity. This test takes about 45- 1 hr. He did great. We let him have a binky and watch Cars. We were all surprised that he barily moved. The Tech said she had never had a kid this age behave so well!!

Here he is while she attached 24 electrodes to his head with sticky paste.



Then she wrapped his head so he couldn't rip them off. He looks like he has a major head wound:)Afterward we talked to the doctor about the results of the EEg and CT scan. Everything is fine and he is perfectly healthy!!!!!!!!!!--Such a relief. These seizures he has been having are definitely febrile and are almost always harmless. He has had 3. But none since the beginning of December. So hopefully we hit the peak and they will happen less and less often. Rhylan only ever had one, so maybe we are done. (Until I have another child, it usually runs in families.) They are so so scary to go through and I am sure I will cry every time. But if the seizure ever goes too long we have medicine to give him, good doctors to call and there is always 911! It is so nice to live in an age with modern technology and medicine. We are so thankful to have a healthy boy.
