Garrett's EEG

Whoops!!! I sent the picture without the description!!

The picture below is Garrett and I during his EEG. He did very well. I was surprised! I told Todd that had he not been there, he wouldn't have sat still for any of it! But, he sat still for almost the entire thing.

We met with the Neurologist approximately 40 minutes after the EEG and he gave us the results. Garrett's EEG was perfectly normal. He said that we shouldn't worry too much about it. He said that if he has another episode to call him, however, he feels it was more than likely a "one time event" because he was sick. He's not convinced it was a seizure rather he passed out/fainted. He said that sometimes the body does things when you pass out that may resemble a seizure..."the brain gets mad", but a seizure is very different.

So he gave us some "pointers" (or more like, what not to dos) if it were to happen again and then he did a quick examination .... Which gave Garrett an opportunity to show him how fine he was.

We are so relieved to have this wonderful news and look forward to not seeing another incident like that!!
