Today Emily had her EEG done. This was done because she possible had a seizure on Monday morning. An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that measures and records the electrical activity of your brain. Special sensors are attached to your head and hooked by wires to a computer. The computer records your brain's electrical activity on the screen or on paper as wavy lines. Certain conditions, such as seizures, can be seen by the changes in the normal pattern of the brain's electrical activity. We had to make her sleep deprived. She had to stay up until midnight, if she wanted she could sleep form 12-5am. (which she did) Then you had to wake up at 5am. Emily did very well. Normally when she gets too tired she gets to be pycho women. We had to be in Mankato at 7am. The testing takes about 1/2 hr once the sensors are placed. Needless to say all the sensors are placed on with glue and not just one about 20 of them. She was wrapped super tight in a special made blanket. That only took 1/2 hr to place all of them. She slept really nice. We will not find out the results for another couple days. The doctors has to read and interpret the test.
Since Monday Emily has been doing fine. Nothing out of the ordinary.
