Tom had his first EEG on 3/11 since he had a seizure at home on 3/8. It is a really cool process to understand how the brain works. The tech spends about 30 minutes adding all the wires and wrapping it all up. Then they do things to see what would trigger a seizure - strobes lights, hyperventilation, and transitions into/out of sleep.
On EEG days Tom has to stay up until midnight the night before and then get up at 5am. We went to get donuts before this test. He said he wasn't nervous but it took him an hour to fall asleep!
