Gavin and his EEG

Well, this Friday Tiffany and I took Gavin to get his EEG and MRI. He did very well with the whole thing, although he was not the happiest to be sleep deprived (we woke him up at 5:30 to feed him, and he didnt get to sleep until after he was hooked up for the EEG.) He was very happy, and he did a pretty good job through it all. We forgot our camera in the car, but luckily we had our phones on us, so we thought we would show some pics of the EEG. The MRI dosen't really work for pictures, plus he was asleep the whole time.

Here the nurse is applying the little sensors, this was probably the worst part for him.
Here he s with everything hooked up. He didnt seem to mind too much, surprisingly.
The nurse finshes up wrapping all the sensors with a cloth. I forgot how time consuming this whole process is. Here he is just laying back. Im so glad he is a happy baby
For the procedure, I had to hold him as he fell asleep. He was much happier at that point. Plus he got to nap. The rest of the day went really well.
For being an unfortunate experience, we were glad to get some pictures, documenting the experience. He seems to be doing fine still. We will update you on the results later.
