EEG and all that jazz

Saturday I took Logan in for his 24hr EEG.  We finally did it. We had been putting it off for so long because of the cost.  But more confirmation that things happen when and as they should... cause Kevin's work shake up changed his insurance and our new insurance quoted us $0 out of pocket for Logans EEG :o    SCORE!!!

We checked in at 8:30 & at 9am they started hooking him up.  At 9:50 they finished.  He screamed the ENTIRE time :/  This is what he looked like all hooked up:

And to prevent him from pulling the wires out they wrapped him up.  He was connected to a machine that had a 20 foot cord.  And then there we were - in a small hospital room attached to a 20 foot cord for 24hrs.  


 

If Logan could tell you he might say he LOVED his stay "at the doctors" - Mommy giving him 100% undivided attention, playing choo choos and speedbumps ALL day long & room service - room service was probably his favorite.  He laughed so hard everytime I picked up the phone to order food...I think he thought I was playing pretend kitchen with him.  And then BAM someone showed up at the door with everything Mommy had just ordered - WHOA, mind blown. 


Time ticks verrrry slowly in a tiny space with a more than average active 4 year old.  Two words: caged animal.  add to that Logan does not sleep well ANYWHERE but his bed & then factor in the wires attached to him.  We hardly slept.  Restless until 11pm, up at 4:15am.  Not even exaggerating. 


We managed to get discharged 30mins early (whoopwhoop. lol. little bit of sarcasm).
At our next Neurologist appt, later this summer we should have the results of the EEG as well as the results of the full gene analysis that we had done in January.
