EEG




Jacob had his EEG today. He did awesome! They wanted him to be sleep deprived so we kept him up until midnight and got up about 7:45. That's a normal night sleep for me and Jon, but for Jacob that was a good few hours less than normal. We checked in to Mayo and got right in for our appointment. The lady put a cap over Jacob's head (kinda like a swim cap) that had electrodes built in the cap. Then she started to monitor him. They wanted to catch his brain waves while he slept (hence the sleep deprivation) and it actually worked! Jacob feel asleep watching a movie and slept for an hour! Exactly what they wanted. We don't know any results yet. We meet with the doctor tomorrow and hope to find out some results then. We just finished eating lunch at Panera Bread... thank you for the free WiFi! Now we have the rest of the day free... maybe hitting up Sam's Club (gotta check out the competition!) and then back to the hotel for swimming.

More later...
