Testing



The EEG went as expected. She cried basically the whole time the tech was putting the wires on with the goopy stuff. 23 wires. First she mapped her head with a red wax pencil. After that she had to clean the area, then put the wire on with thick lotion so it would stick to her head. This took about 15 minutes. Finally, she wrapped her head in gauze so that all the wires would stay in place. She turned the lights off and played soothing Disney music. Sadie cried herself to sleep in about 5 minutes. The tech logged all of Sadie sleepy movements. She slept about 10 minutes. The conclusion to the test is flashing strobe lights of varying intensity. Strobe lights can trigger a seizure. Exhausted, we were home by 12:30.
