Arturo's EEG

Yesterday we took Arturo to get his EEG. For those of you who don't know, Luis, our oldest, was referred to get an EEG as a precautionary measure. When we went to get it done we all thought it was a waste of time, but it turns out that Luis is having 100's of silent seizures a day, that get worse when he sleeps. We're not sure what this means yet as we haven't seen the specialist. Because a lot of seizure disorders are hereditary we decided to get Arturo tested also.... Getting an EEG requires the person to stay up the night before so that they will fall asleep during the test. No problem for our 7 year old, but to keep a 4 year old up is torture!! Arturo handled it well, and for a little boy who doesn't like to be touched, he sure handled the procedure well too. I'll let you all know how the results turn out.
