Marni Gets Hooked Up!

After a couple of febrile seizures, we were advised to take Marni to a pediatric neurologist. So a couple of weeks ago we took her to see Dr. Daniel Miles at NYU. Nice guy. Did a bunch of little tests on Marni (touch this, grab this, watch this, etc.). Marni was in rare form. The results... she seemed normal to him (although he could not tell if she was left or right handed). Dr. Miles suggested we take her in for an EEG to check her brain waves.

Last Tuesday Marni, Lisa and I headed back to NYU for the test.
Miss Marni was not at all happy getting 24 leads glued onto her skull. But a VHS machine in the room playing Mickey Mouse cartoons help a lot. After 25 minutes of measurements, it was time to remove the leads. This was very unpopular with Marni. But we got through it and she was as happy as could be afterwards.

No results of the test yet, but it was quite an adventure. And hopefully this whole brain thing is behind us.
