EEG

I'm not thoroughly convinced that ML has the flu. He doesn't have a runny nose, cough or any other sign that he is sick. He has not had a fever since yesterday afternoon, and last night was acting the most normal I had seen since Monday.

This morning, we took him to PCMC (Primary Children's Medical Center) for his EEG. We are so grateful that they were able to get him an appointment so quickly. When we did this last year with IL, it was a month between her first appointment, and her last follow up appointment to find out how the tests (EEG & MRI) went. We go back on Tuesday to see the neurologist and find out what the results of his EEG were. Much quicker this time!

Here are some pictures of the EEG. This one was taken while they were putting the electrodes on this head. He didn't like that very much and kept trying to pull them off.

This was right after they finished putting the electrodes on and wrapped his head up so he couldn't pull them off.


After they finished, he was so tired that he fell asleep in less than 5 minutes. We made sure he was very tired. When IL had her EEG, she was tired, but she wouldn't fall asleep. She was just drowsy enough that they were able to get a reading. We were so grateful that ML feel asleep so fast.


This was after he woke up. He was so mad that they woke him up. He slept for about 30 minutes, and was just getting into a good sleep. He had such a great hairdo!

Sometimes I get annoyed when people say things like "Good job, Mommy. Keep it up," when I'm obviously struggling, but its true. Even though its hard, you are doing a great job. ML will be able to tell if you are stressed out about it or not. Hang in there!

Scotlyn's Birthday Party

Image
Scotlyn's birthday is this coming Thursday, but because her birthday always falls around General Conference time, we try to have her party the week before conference. She has been counting down the days until her party all week. It was a lot of fun, and was so nice to have her party outside this year. Every year on her birthday, the weather has been cold, until this year. This is a picture of her a couple of days ago, when she decided she was going to build a hot air balloon and fly to Salt Lake. She packed a change of clothes in her backpack and took food with her in the box. She also had a few toys with her, but when she was ready to fly, she realized that there was not room for her to sit in the box. She kept saying to me, "Mom, this is really going to work. I'm going to Salt Lake, I'll be back later". It was too cute. She never did make it to Salt Lake, but she didn't seem too disappointed that she didn't fly. I love how at this age, they lo...
