Jack's appointment

I probably won't blog much this week because I cannot use my laptop. The power cord had to be replaced. But I wanted to let our friends and family know that Jack has an appointment scheduled for this Wednesday afternoon. We should find out the results from both tests (EEG and MRI) at that time. If they are normal, we'll just go on with life as we are now. If something is abnormal, we will be referred to a neurologist who will probably put Jack on meds. I'll let you know as soon as we know something! Thank you for the continued prayers! :)

New update on Jack!

Thank you all for your continued prayers for my baby. :) Jack is still doing fine, although he does have a bit of a cold (from me), so please pray that it won't trigger another seizure!

I do not have any results back yet on his EEG, but I did get a call from the doctor saying that his MRI is scheduled for April 11th. I think it is strange they scheduled him for a Saturday!

Again, not much for now, but I wanted to give some kind of update because many are praying for him and asking about him. Thanks so much, and I will update again as I have more to share!

Jack's EEG

We made it today! I thought I was going to have to reschedule again though because the little toot fell asleep while we were parking! The parking garage was full, so as I drove 'round and 'round looking for a place, he had finished his sucker and he fell asleep. Jayla did her best to wake him up, but he was long gone.

So then we checked in and just as we were about to head down the hall to start, he woke up. Go figure. He was still very sleepy though, so she was hoping to get him back to sleep. Nearly two hours later, she finally gave up.

She got some good readings though because he almost fell asleep a couple of times and was very still. She said there were a few things on the test that she thought might be abnormal. I guess that's sort of good AND bad news, because I don't want him to be abnormal at all, but if there is something wrong, I want to know what it is so we can know how to fix it, or at least manage it. The lady said it will probably be about two weeks before we get the results. (SIGH)

All bundled up and putting the "glue" on him.

Wrapping the wires and cotton balls so they couldn't come loose!

He managed to get his arms free about three times! He did really well. I tried to let him cry hoping that he would go to sleep, but it was natural instinct for me to go to him when he was upset, so that was hard. I was next to him most of the time though, and he really didn't get upset much. You can tell in the pictures here that he was just looking around, not upset at all. He got tired of being tied down, but otherwise it didn't seem to bother him much.

Now that we are home, he is sleeping soundly right next to me. :) I hope we don't have to do this again, at least not for a long, long time. He did great though. Now for the MRI! They'll have to sedate him for that. :(
