Bella and I have been kicking around the house since 3:45 am! This morning was actually not at hard as I expected, at least for me. Bella on the other hand has been pretty upset with me this morning, 4 hours of sleep just does not cut it when she is used to 12...
Can you tell?
This was right after she rolled around on the floor crying, rubbing her eyes for 20 minutes.. she finally decided that she would sit with me and ended up not leaving my side for 2 hours! The things we do for our children :)
Today Bella is having and EEG to try and figure out if her brain is "misfiring" or experiencing seizures. Mike and I do not think that she has been having seizures, but it is very possible for her to be having silent seizures, or seizure activity in her brain. Her neurologist really thought that this was the next step for Bella as he was really concerned with her expressive speech. He said if he finds any activity he would expect it to be on the left frontal lobe which would give us some insight into her expressive speech delays.
If Bella's past sleep studies are any indication of how this morning will pan out then we are in for a rough day! Pray that Bella cooperates today and stays relaxed through this process. We need to get sufficient data so that we don't have to do a 24 hour EEG ;)
