Update : EEG

A few weeks back, E was sent to the ER for having an "unresponsive" spell at school. We're not sure what exactly happened since she was fine and acting her usual self when we got to her. It was a hot day with lots of excitement at school since they were having a themed-carnival day (hence the face-painting).

The standard tests were done and came back normal. The pediatrician recommended to have an EEG done for a piece of mind, and that is what we did. Poor kid was required to be sleep deprived, going to bed at midnight and then wake up at 4am, and then stay awake until test time, 8am.

They placed little electrodes all over her tiny scalp while she stayed still watching Strawberry Shortcake.

They did an awake test where they flashed intervals of bright lights and then had her blow a pinwheel for 3 minutes. Then they did a sleep test where she needed to fall into a deep sleep. She was great and did everything the docs asked of her!

I owe her a treat now for being such a champ! No results til next week, she has not had anything unusual except for that one incident. I used to zone out a lot as a kid, so maybe she's just like me. Anyhow, the test will give us an ease of mind, so we just wait for now.
