As long as her head stayed still the tech was fine with her moving her arms as needed. She was so interested in filming and watching the process I don't think she even noticed any sensation on her scalp.

Both outpatient EEG's were pretty simple but trying to get the glue out of her hair and off her scalp following the inpatient was quite the chore. Different type of adhesive I guess since the wires had to stay in place for several days. This was where a sensitive scalp could be an issue...

That's awesome - thank you for that suggestion smile He'd probably like that. He's interested in science stuff (he's my "molecules questions" kid) so he'd probably think it's cool (electrodes reading his brain). My only challenge will be explaining why he's having it done and not his sister. (He doesn't know about his diagnoses... He knows he's seen lots of doctors, but I'm not sure if he realizes that most kids haven't done all the testing he has). He's funny... clever and innocent all rolled into one.
