EEG Testing

Liam was still having seizures a while back and is still having them.
After sending in the video of a couple of Liams seizures the Dr. emailed me saying that Liam was having a rare case of seizures that is often seen in infants called "Infantile Spasms" but wanted to make sure by testing him.
So today we went in to test Liam at our local hospital.
They asked us like in every Dr.s appointment to feed him and make sure that he was tired so that he actually took a nap through the test.
We know our son so we didn't stop his routine.
He is a great  baby and naps as long as it is quite.
He did great until they actually scrubbed his head.
I didn't like that either but I was glad it was over for him.
At least that test.
Here are some pics.
There are lights on in the pictures but they were really turned off the entire test. We sat there in the dark and quite. He had a couple of seizures during the 30 minutes that he was tested. Which I prayed would happen so they can see and find a cure.

 It didn't take very long for him to starting nodding off...
 No worries, that is not blood. It's just where they mark where the wires will be pasted to him.
 Such a good little man...
 So many wires and he was still I'd say 95% of the time while they were putting them on. After that he didn't move a muscle.
 There's our little warrior. That black lamp there flashed and was unpleasant.


Yesterday Liam's physical therapist came and I just wanted to share this picture.
He still doesn't sit very well. The spasms are helping delay his development but it is still a great picture. They are both the same size when sitting.

  1. Wow, he is a big kid!! I am so glad Liam is getting the help he needs. He seems like such a sweet precious little boy. Emma was just in looking at the pictures and was concerned about how he is doing. She suggested a few somewhat primitive treatment options for him that involved drilling holes (which I mentioned had already been done a few times at least) or turning him upside down to let accumulated fluid pour out of his nose. I'm sure your Dr.'s have ideas of their own though. Hope you guys are well and that we get to see you all soon. <3
