    That is really great that you were able to get the ball rolling so much sooner!
    Good luck for the ECG on Thursday, I really hope you can get some real answers and a starting plan of attack. xx

    im glad you've got the ball rolling.
    With the EEG; its a snap shot, if she hasnt had one *in that* time frame they may not pick it up; i know it sounds horrid but of hope she has one - DJ had higher levels of Bata brain waves. but that may have just been him in that snap shot.

    you're doing a wonderful job

    She's having about four an hour so I think they'll get at least one. The frequency has increased. She had one in the middle of her Xmas concert the other night and lost her place in the song and I could tell she was confused when she came to. It broke my heart. The EEG gOes for an hr so hopefully they'll capture something and give us some answers and a plan. Thanks all for your comments. I'm freaking out internally.
