Today's EEG

We are back from the EEG, the appointment went fast and very well. Karter fell asleep 5 minutes into the test, so it was done within one hour PLT!

As for results...basically, we were allowed to go home without seeing the Neurologist today. That is really good news. Had something changed drastically on his EEG, we would have needed to see the Doctor. So at this point no news was good news.

We will get the actual results over the next few days. We suspect that an appointment will be made for an overnight stay in the hospital so they can do a 24 hour EEG. An appointment request has been put in for another MRI, we should hear about that date soon.

So thus far, we are feeling ok about things. On a side note, Karter had his Occupation Therapy feeding consultation yesterday. The OT was very please and surprises with how well he was doing. She assumed since he was at a 4 month level with his motor skills, his feeding skills would be there as well. Not the case, he is about a 10 or 11 month level with feeding and the only thing that is hindering him with moving further is his inability to pick up food and place it in his own mouth. She gave us a few things to work on, but overall, was a real encouragement. Today the physiotherapist visited and was equally as encouraging. I had shared with her about the appointment last week and where they felt Karter should be and that they felt progress was a bit slow. She reminded me where he was before surgery and felt that their expectations were unrealistic especially since they do not see him in his surroundings. She felt that Karter has made amazing progress since surgery and is doing very well. Those word were such a treasure for us this week.

We will keep you posted when we hear any results.
