What an Awesome Little Girl!

Well, today was a long day at Primary Children's. We met with a Neurologist this morning to talk about Bella's seizure. He wanted to start doing some more tests, so we began with an EEG scan-a test that records electrical messages by putting small electrodes on the head. We got to watch Bella's brain's electrical activity while she open and shut her eyes, blew on a pin wheel and took a nap. She was so good about the whole thing, laid very still and was so tired she fell asleep! Which is exactly what they wanted her to do so they could see her brain activity while she slept. Now we get to wait until tomorrow (Friday) to find out the results. If the doctor sees any "mis fires" in the brain's electrical activity it could mean that she has epilepsy and we will go back in for some MRI scans. If not, than great! We will only have to be concerned about this if she has another seizure. So, I will post the news tomorrow! Thanks for all your prayers. Here are some pictures of Bella with her "Princess Hat" on. After putting the electrodes all over her head they wrapped her head so they wouldn't come off. The Tech called it a princess hat, he was very cute with her and she got a new purple blankey for being so good. Dylan and Audrey were also with us and were great supporters. Way to go Bella! You were awesome today!
