Madalyn had her sleep deprived EEG this morning. My sister kept her up until the first half of the night. At 11:00, she was so tired, we decided to let her go to sleep for awhile. She fell asleep the second she layed down next to me. I woke her up at 3:00 am. She ate nachos and cheese and fell asleep. I continued to wake her all the way until the time of the EEG. The great news is that she was not nervous about the test, and said the glueing process was RELAXING this time! When the technician told her to close her eyes and go to sleep, she did. EEGs are easier now that she is older. It helps that the seizure medicine is doing its job and her intense fears and meltdowns are almost non-existent!
We should have the results early next week. The good news is that on day 3 of Adderall, she seems to be doing better than she did on Focalin and Vyvanse. She is more awake, and her processing speed seems to be much better. Her overall mood seems much improved. I'm thrilled with this, but am afraid her EEG might not show the same as it would have had we had it a few days ago. But, that's okay....as long as she stays good!
Madalyn also had her 6 month eye checkup with Dr. Mungan today. At each checkup after her third surgery, her eyes have been turning in less and less. And today, he said that her eyes showed no turn in! She will continue to be checked every 6 months.
My first IEP meeting at Madalyn's new school was rescheduled from today until next Friday. So, I'll update on that later. For now, I'll leave you with this video I found yesterday as I searched for information on IEPs....it's a comedy, and for some reason, it absolutely cracked me up, which was a nice release from this special education learning experience! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fBTWuIX_DA
