Guest guest Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 LIsa when they did EEGs in the hospital they had a place where you can check in at for a private rooms for parents with patients but check in early as possiable cause they go fast .... they also have a vending area there which you should find the washer and dryer and they also had bathroom with showers next to them but you need to take your own laundry degerteant and your own shampoo and stuff you know your personal things .. lol... gosh i sound like a pro at this .. oh i was ..lol.. but the EEG its not a hard thing on the kids that didnt bother me with she had a lot of those but that flashing light liked to killed my eyes i was holding her in a chair while they did it .. they put alot of guwy stuff in her hair and a bunch of wires it smells like crituis ornges so it not bad.. well i hope i helped alittle and also they have places where you can keep your food at just put your name on it cause every one else there usese it to .. and get some flip flops to wear in the shower so you dont get althletes feet..lol.. good luck to you and your family your friend shannon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Hi all and a warm welcome to all the new ones here! Have been reading some but have not had much time to read all and post much but I have a question. We are going next week for a 72 hr EEG and then to see a pulmonologist to try to get to the bottom of 's breathing problems. We will be in the hospital all week. We have never been for this long EEG, can some of you here share your experiences with me. Should we take certain clothes.....button up the front only? Can you bathe? Anything you can share that will help us prepare will be greatly appreciated. Blessings to all of you! Horsley leehorsley@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Hi . We are also getting ready for a video EEG trip in a couple of weeks. This will be our second go 'round. I would bring shirts that button up the front as it's easier to get on and off. Also, while hooked up to the wires, our girls were not able to take a bath in the tub. They had a "sponge bath." I don't know where you are having yours done but, I can share a little about how it's done in St. . Our girls were hooked up to about 20 electrodes which were connected to a box and stuffed into a fanny pack. Also connected to the box was a 20 foot long cord which allows the kids to move around to a certain extent. The hospital has a number of activities for the kids to participate in. In addition, there's a toy room filled with games, movies and toys. They definitely make it as comfortable and "homelike" as they can. A camera is on them 24 hours a day. It's kind of weird to be followed around by cameras all the time. I hope I answered some of your questions. I wish you luck on your trip and I hope all goes smoothly.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 , had this done in St Louis several years ago.I can't remember about certains clothes or Pj's.I do remember she had to have a bed bath,she was not allowed out of bed.They also kept a camera on her at all times and I had to write down what she was or had been doing every time she had any unusual movement. Take some of 's favorite games or movies to help pass the time. We'll remember you and in our prayers . God Bless! , Mom to MITO: 72 Hr EEG Hi all and a warm welcome to all the new ones here!
