Madelyn had her EEG and EKG test today. We had to keep her up an hour later last night and get her up an hour earlier than normal for her test. That was a fun little drive to Riverton keeping her awake.
Madelyn really liked the the waiting area. She kept running back and forth across the whole room and then watching the bubbles in the tubes.
The technician took us back and started attaching the little electrodes to her head. They had two helpers in there playing with toys and blowing bubbles to try to distract her. However, she was determined not to get those things stuck on her head. So it took a few extra minutes. She wasn't anymore excited about getting her head wrapped in gauze either. (Although she kind of liked when the tech taped the wrap on top)
As soon as the tech turned out the lights for the EEG Madelyn was asleep. Mom and dad almost fell asleep waiting for the test to be over.
After the test we met up with the doctor to talk about the results which turned out to be normal. Wahoo! So, they think that the seizure was probably caused by her being sick earlier in the week and was still kind of fighting it off. So that was good news. The doctor then suggested we pop over to cardiology and get a quick EKG just to be sure there was no problems there. Madelyn liked getting all the stickers put on her chest and belly so we didn't have to hold her down for that one. The tech says that the results looked normal. Thank goodness!
The tech gave Madelyn a new blanket to take home with her. She really loves this blanket!
