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.

I hope they get one too - DJ's EEG lasted about half an hour - but they didnt pick anything up - three weeks later he had a GM.

Hopefully they can sort it out and give her some medication to control them - its not nice but at the same time its the best thing for them - we tried weaning DJ off one - but he started up again. you're a strong women dont ever forget that
