Children's Hospital

Today we ventured down to Calgary with Oliver for his EEG. After his seizure a few months ago we were referred to a pediatrician who recommended getting an EEG done. We had to keep him up until 10pm last night and wake him at 4am this morning. He was not allowed to sleep on the drive there and needed to be super tired upon arrival. It was a super long day for me since I was up at 4am and had to keep him awake and busy for the entire drive. Mr. Stannix drove so that I could entertain Oliver for the 2 1/2 hours in the car. He did so good, but nodded off for a few minutes just as we arrived at the Children's hospital. 

He was so chill about getting "stickers" on his head and was super cooperative. I ended up having to lay with him on the bed until he finally fell asleep. After about ten minutes of sleep they said they had everything they needed and asked me to wake him up! The poor boy was so so tired (and so were we). I'm anxious for the results which should be coming in a few weeks.

We stopped at our favorite place to eat on the way out of the city. Ollie was such a trooper. He and I shared a salad while Daddy had a burrito. The drive home was relatively painless as they fell asleep shortly outside of Airdrie. Mike and I were pretty exhausted when we finally got home!
