That's right, he was PROBED!!

.
For his 24 Hour Video EEG, Nathan was that is.  We showed up with all our stuff and we were escorted to a room.  The Children's Hospital part of Mary Bridge is lock tight, let me tell you.  No one gets in or out without the nurses knowing.

At first he was okay with being there....
Kaedyn was great as long as he knew it wasn't for him!
However, when it came time to get the probes on .. or BUTTONS as we called them .... he tried to take a run for it.
The lady drew these smiley faces on his hands to help ease the process a little ... 
Eventually he just sorta relaxed and went with the process ....
Kaedyn had fun occupying himself ....
tried to get Nathan distracted by reading a dinosaur book but he just wanted to hold it instead...

She let him hold the oxygen tube which they were using to "dry" the glue to hold the probes ... 

Kaedyn was balancing the ball on the edge of the bed.


Covering his eyes for the ones close to his face
The relief he has in his eyes when everyone says ALL DONE!
Then she connected all the wires ...

He got this amazing mesh hat, it's going to be the next big thing in fashion, let me tell you!
He was sporting a wire & mesh ponytail!

Here he is eating dinner ........ gotta love kids who love their veggies!!  Mine do!
Sleeping like the sweet angel he is....

Video of him sleeping & snoring .. lol...

The following day ...  he slept just fine that night.  I didn't, but he did.  He chowed down on his breakfast .. .
 When it came to leave (around noon) we stopped to look at the fun stuff in the room outside the elevators.  There was an animated dinosaur ... and we all know how much Nathan LOVES dinosaurs!  Here Nathan and Noah are checking it out ...
 The huge aquarium ...
 Nathan watching the dino ...

 His hair was all kinds of greasy and gunky after they got the probes out ... it had to do with the stuff they used to get them off... took me a few days to get it all out of his hair...

Still don't know the results, won't until we see the Neurologist in November...
