I left my son in the hospital tonight.  He is four.  After a third seizure ten days after the second one, we scheduled an overnight EEG (electrodes glued to the head of a four-year-old for 24 hours) to try to identify where the seizures originate.

While waiting the three weeks for the appointment, he had a fourth seizure. 

Then this morning before the time that he usually wakes up, he had another one…on the day of the EEG.

Tonight, I left my small son in the hospital hooked up to electrodes all night.
