our morning...

For Caleb's EEG he had to stay up until midnight last night and then get up at 5am this morning, they wanted him sleep deprived. Ryan took him to the late showing of Chronicles of Narnia last night (which they both loved) while I went to bed early and then he slept in while I got Caleb up at 5am. Our appointment was at 8 am.

It went well and quicker than we had expected, first the tech hooked 25 electrodes onto Caleb's head and then wrapped him up so they wouldn't pop off. Next she had him blow the pinwheel for 5 minutes (very exausting for a little guy!). Then he closed his eyes while strobe-like lights blinked in front of him. Lastly he got to go to sleep for about 15 minutes- and he zonked! It was hard waking him up.

I forgot to take my camera (can you believe it?!) so here are pics from my camera phone...

You can see all of the wires sticking out from behind him!

We went home and he went back to sleep for a couple of hours.

Now we just wait for the pediatric neurologist to call us with results :)
