So everyone that knows us, knows that we have been stressing about Brayden's seizures. Justin and I were relieved this week when his EEG test day finally arrived. I had to work, because I still can't use vacation until I have been at BCBSMS for 6 months. Justin took the whole day off to be with Brayden. I got off around 11 and we headed to UMC around 12:15. We had to go to the Outpatient Registration desk to fill-out paper work, and then we were escorted to the neurology department. We waited for a short time in the waiting room until the tech came and got us. Justin seemed calm, Brayden was his normal funny and hyper self, and I was a ball of nerves. The tech took us to our room that had a bed with a device with tons of wires coming out of it laying on it. She started explaining everything to us. I kept getting more nervous. She said that she was going to place the wires all over Brayden's head, face, and chest. She would then wrap them so he couldn't pull them out. She warned us that he will probably scream and cry but assured us that she was not hurting him. I asked where I could sit (hoping it could be on the bed with him) and she said on the bed with him. She needed help holding him down while she got everything on him. She was right....he fussed while she was putting the wires on, but after she finished he fell fast asleep. We loved the tech! She had an 18 month old little boy so we compared stories. She made us feel good, because Brayden is still not crawling and her son didn't crawl until 10 months. She said her son didn't start walking until 15 months. Anyways, after the regular tests, she did a light test. She was not allowed to tell us the results from the tests, but she did say that if Brayden started seizing during the light test she would have turned it off. When it was over, it was a waiting game for us. Our doctor called on Friday to inform us that the test results came back normal. Yay!!! We were so thrilled! We still have to meet with the doctor on Monday to review the test in more details and get answers about what he was doing a few months ago. We are so thankful that we have good news! I really don't know what I would do if anything happened to our precious little boy. He is our world! Thank you to everyone who has prayed for us! We love you!
