Well we went and had and EEG done yesterday to make sure Conner was not having seizures. After some screaming due to them measuring his head, writing all over it, putting cold gel and some goopy stuff on each spot marked, some little electrodes that supposedely suction to his head, all wrapped in an ace bandage, he finally calmed down for a nap. He slept through most of it. After that we saw the Dr. and he said he did not see any seizure activity. He also said he saw some spikes while Conner was sleeping which is a great sign. I guess that means he falls into a deeper sleep that some of these kids never reach. He said it was pretty normal. He also told us to keep our fingers crossed that he does not develop seizures later and that the fact that he has not already is promising.
The Dr. did however prescribe Conner a cranial molding helmet. Conner likes to sleep on a particular side of his head, and it has caused that side to be flat and misshapen. We will hopefully get that soon to correct that. I just hope it is somewhat comfortable for him and not hurt. I guess we will see.
I guess it's a good thing that we left town when we did. When I called Michael yesterday to give him the great news, he answered sounding pittiful. I asked what was wrong and he caught the stomach bug that both Randy and Emma had the day before. So we are staying in Ft. Worth an extra day to try to avoid that and get some Christmas shopping done.
