THE WHITE PUMPKIN

Before starting this 24 hour (now has turned into a 48 hour) EEG test on Rider, we enjoyed a little time outside.
Kashi learned how to jump off the diving board and yes, that's my daughter in the pool naked. How white trash of us.

Rider got a little fresh air also and now we've been camped out on the couch for the past 24 hours. Unfortunately during the 2 hour process of setting up the 21 lead electrodes on his head, he had two episodes but the machine wasn't recording yet. And since the set up has been complete, nothing. It was a long night but we survived thanks to Miss Mary taking over at 5 am so I could get a little sleep.


The dr extended the test for another 24 hours in hopes of capturing one of his episodes. I'm so frustrated. I really hope I haven't put this little monkey through all this for nothing. We basically can't get off the couch because part of the test means he's under 24 hour video surveillance. I'm just hoping he'll "perform" for us soon so that we can get to the bottom of this. 

I think his halloween costume has been decided. The Great White Pumpkin Head.
Poor monkey.

Sending good thoughts that the test is helpful so you can have more clarity on helping Rider.

He is such a handsome baby!
