At Home EEG

While Weslee hasn't had a tonic clonic seizure since his May 1 2019 surgery, his little seizures are coming back slowly.  This at-home EEG was scheduled to see if we can figure out where these little ones are coming from, or if they will show up at all!

Almost all of Weslee's EEGs were done in the EMU ward in hospitals.  This is only the second done at home.  Still, we knew what to expect.  Video/audio camera recording everything.  EEG leads glued on (nasty stinky smelly glue) then the head is wrapped. At least he can walk around a little because the "pony tail" is battery powered and in a fanny pack.

We pulled out the couch into a bed and surrounded him with his movie binders, books, tablet and phone so he wouldn't need to go upstairs for anything.

And the video camera stays in the corner of the living room so he has privacy in the bathroom.

If you've been diagnosed with epilepsy, then you too know what it's like to be attached to an EEG pony tail!

After Chelsea finished applying the leads and wrapping him up, she did breathing and flashing light activations.  Nothing.
