He finally slept!!!

Arthur had to have another

sleep deprived EEG.

He had been complaining of  the "funny feeling."

We tried playing with his meds but it never

seemed to go away completely.

He has so many of those listed, I'm not sure

if it's all seizure related or not.

So off to PCH we went.

It really is a beautiful hospital, inside and out.

This was our first time here since we

moved to Arizona.

In the past Arthur never seemed to be able to fall asleep during the EEG.

No matter how little sleep he got.

We finally went to a hospital that used their brains!! (no pun intended)

The room had no windows and was nice and dark.

At previous facilities there was always a window with light peaking through the

blinds. No exactly the best when trying to get a kid to sleep during the day.

This time, they made him comfortable and the lights went out.

I had a hard time staying awake! But....

He SLEPT.

Which is the whole point of a sleep deprived EEG.

Something about lack of sleep excites the brain of an epileptic.

They said it would be 3-5 days before the 

neurologist got the results from the tech.

My hats off to the people of Phoenix Children's.

They had an area just for sleep deprived EEG's.

With signs warning people it was a quiet zone.  I was very impressed.
