Warning: For Mature Viewers Only

Today Jim and I brought Charlie to Valley Hospital to get an EEG. They wanted to check his brain waves to make sure something we noticed a few times and thought was possibly a tic, is not in fact any sort of small seizure. Please be assured he was in no pain and the red you see is only a grease pencil they use to mark his head for placement of wires. The entire experience only took 2 hours and the actual EEG was only 30 minutes. No results yet but we are positive we will get good news.

Charlie doesn't have an EEGs bite shirt so we had to settle for the teething bites shirt.
Waiting for the EEG. Marva is standing next to Charlie and she was one of the great technicians.

Wrapping Charlie in his papoose to contain his arms.
Notice arms are tucked in

Now wrapping second layer (arms still in) with velcro.

Arms out! What?! None of us know how or when he did that. The kid is Houdini.

Before they even finished the 25 wires he fell asleep sipping his bottle.

Almost done attaching and sound asleep.
Wrapped to make sure nothing falls off after all that hard work.
30 minutes later he is Bride of Frankenstein

Kind of reminds us of the Charlie Hair of months past...
No worse for the wear -- and they even shampooed him before we drove back home!

We love you Charlie Bear!

  1. Wait! The nurse can lift his head while he sleeps and he doesn't wake up. A tree can fall on the house and he doesn't wake up. But we can't hiccup without waking him! I think he's playing us! :-)
