48-hr EEG

On the first Monday in June, we took Eli down to have a 48 hour EEG done. He is such a trooper. Just sat back and let them hook him up. Here he is with daddy heading back to the car.

We stopped to eat at Arby's on the way home as we had been rerouted due to an overturned semi on the highway.

We got home and other than being "plugged in" as Asa said he was just like normal. Thankfully Drew came over to help install our air conditioners in the windows since this week was one of the hottest of the summer. Doesn't bode well with the instructions of not sweating. Luckily crisis was averted.

On Wednesday, all of us went to have Eli unplugged. Afterwards we let the boys play in the waiting room.

Poor Eli has inherited my metal sensitivity. He had a rash everywhere a node had been placed on his head.

*test results showed no seizure activity so our next step is a tonsillectomy to help with the sleep apnea.

Eli's Sleep Study

We went for a sleep study on April 7.

These were taken just after they came in to wake us up. He did great during the testing and didn't take to long to fall asleep, even with a crying baby in one of the other rooms.

And here is a picture of the loot he brought home. He actually got upset with me when I made him put back the pencil he tried to snag just before we left to go home.

Results showed that he does have mild sleep apnea and it has been recommended that we have his tonsils and adenoids removed.
