After I left the ped yesterday, and she noticed that his whole right side was very weak, she said that she would give the EEG dep.a call at Children's Hospital, and i said I would try also. I recieved a call today,and it has been moved up for tomorrow at 1:15pm. That is the same thing i was thinking and if the artifact thing was nothing to worry about why mention it. It is really odd that the previous EEG mentions the left side, and now the MRI spots some unknown artifact, but he has no braces or metal plates in his head. I told her that did not make sense. Who is to say it is an artifact? Especially since there is nothing in his head. Thank you for all your help. It means alot.
