Another EEG

Prayer Request for my little girl.

Friday she did a little slideshow presentation of pictures she had made on the computer during her computer class.
I can't believe she is finishing 1st grade today!

Wednesday morning at 7:45am Elissa is going to have the first EEG since her initial one in August of 2009 when she had her seizure and was in the hospital. 

EEG defined:  An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that measures and records the electrical activity of your brain. Special sensors (electrodes) are attached to your head and hooked by wires to a computer. The computer records your brain's electrical activity on the screen or on paper as wavy lines. Certain conditions, such as seizures, can be seen by the changes in the normal pattern of the brain's electrical activiy.

An EEG is used to diagnose epilepsy and see what type of seizures are occurring. EEG is the most useful and important test in confirming a diagnosis of epilepsy.

PRAYER REQUEST

♥ That the abnormality making her "prone to seizures" would be GONE. She can definitely outgrow the
    abnormality and that is what we are praying for.
     *If the abnormality is gone, then we will ween her off her seizure medication this Summer. Then she can 
       start 2nd grade medicine free!
     *If the abnormality is still there, then we will continue the current course. She would continue to be on 2x
       daily medicine and we would probably do another EEG in a year. If the EEG in a year continues to
       show the abnormality, then she would most likely be labeled epileptic.
♥ That the preperation for the EEG goes well.
     *This is a sleep deprived EEG which means that she has to be awake until midnight Tuesday and then we
        have to get her up at 4am Wednesday - no naps, caffeine or chocolate. I really don't know how we are
        going to do this. We are definitely going to play outside until it gets dark, dark. :-) Zach will be having a
        fun sleepover at Grandma and Papas. Thank you!

We will find out the results on Tuesday, June 28th.

Your prayers would be so much appreciated!

Thank you!
