Kaylee had her EEG this morning to check for epilepsy. The pedi is pretty sure that the febrile seizure have nothing to do with it but since she has had 2 and Jason father has epilepsy he did the test as a precaution.
So we went to the Peyton Manning Childrens Hospital at St Vincents.(thats where Kaylee was born also) Kaylee had to stay up late and get up early so she'd be sleepy for the EEG. So she went to bed at 11pm and got up at 4:30am! We got to the hossy at 6:45am she was checked in and was back within 20min....very fast! It took about 20min to hook all the connection up to her head and then the EEG was half hour! She slept in stage two sleep for about 15min(which is want they want) and then had to be awake for 15min after sleeping.(its not easy getting a sleepy toddler awake!) Minus her really not liking getting all the connection glued to her she did very well. We are very proud of her! The best part was there was NO sedation. They wrapped her in a blanket(neck down) and just held her while getting her ready and then I got to hold her during the test. She just slept in my arms.......it was wonderful to be able to be part of it and her not be alone. We should have the results next week at her follow up appt with Dr. Ambre.
Edited - just wanted to add the doc called(he actually called himself) Mon morning and said Kaylee was fine......NOOOOOO Epilepsy! WOOHOO! She is just having febrile seizures as he thought! I LOVE Kaylee pedi, he is so great. We just have to catch her fevers before they rise! Which means even a small fever HAS to be treated since 1. you never know how high it might get and 2.Her fevers rise very quickly which is what triggers the seizure.
