This past weekend, Bree and I spent a lovely three days at Florida Hospital in Orlando for her 48 Video Electroencephalogram (VEEG). The room was beautiful as well as the facilities...better than Arnold Palmer (although it is newer). After we were there a few hours, Bree was finally connected and where ever she went her backpack and the video camera followed. For a little girl with Sensory Processing Disorder, she did amazingly well with the wrap on her head. The first day went by pretty fast and even though there were a few time she woke up that night, we both slept pretty well. By the second day she was used to the cords coming from her head and adjusted to wearing the backpack. The second night was a breeze...sleeping through the night. Sunday couldn't have come quicker. Spending three days in the same room was grueling...not being able to take Bree for a walk or go to the play room was difficult. I thought it would be strange having a camera following everything she did, but after a while I forgot it was even there. It ended up being a successful reading and all we know now is that she had no events (seizures) while we were there.
Update
Slow-spike were found in the left frontal lobe. We knew they would find background activity and now we know where it's coming from. There was no focal point found but we now know that her current level of medication is not working. She will now increase her amount of Lamictal. to 50mg in the am and 75mg in the pm. Let's hope she has no seizures!
