Paige had her appointment with the neurologist on Wednesday, so we left Tuesday and stayed in a hotel since Jess was on vacation this week anyway. We did some shopping and LOTS of eating.
Paige enjoyed some chips and salsa at Chevy's.
But Cason hated that place. He was mad enough to grind his little teeth.
He DID, however, like the hotel.
Paige did too.
THEN we had the appointment. She has been really scared of doctors lately, for some reason. So she screamed and cried when the nurse even tried to measure her head or listen to her heart. Luckily the doctor was a lady, which helped. She was also VERY good. She knew how to talk to Paige, and she busted out finger puppets and a bell and everything. By the end Paige was even talking to her a little bit. Unfortunately, she had us do an EEG in another building, several hours later. Poor Jess had to go in with her alone, because I'd JUST started nursing Cason when they finally called Paige back. I guess he had to sit with her in a rocking chair pinning her arms down while they put goop in her hair and put those little electrodes all over her head. He said she was mad at first, and yelled at one of the nurses. But then she just got scared and really sad, and was crying for me and Cason, which makes me feel so bad. They did the test for a little while with her awake, and then a little while with her asleep. (We had to keep her from sleeping beforehand, so she was really tired for it.) Now we have to call tomorrow, and hopefully the results will be ready!
