I don't know if she has to be still for an hour for the shorter one. :/<br /> I used to do EEG exams on adults, and the gel might be cold but there is no pain or anything. Relatively pretty easy to sit through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eeg-for-a-toddler#post-2343468 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 17:24:19 +0000 Synchronicity 2343468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thinking of you guys! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eeg-for-a-toddler#post-2343434 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 16:49:06 +0000 Lilbear 2343434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once all the stuff is on their head, I think it kind of takes their energy level down a notch. Like, they are aware that their movement is going to be limited, so they don't go too crazy with trying to move around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eeg-for-a-toddler#post-2343432 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 16:48:18 +0000 Rockies11 2343432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one as a kid - I don't know how helpful my experience will be. They put sticky goop in my hair, then a sticker with an electrode on it. I laid there for an hour, but mine was a sleep deprived one so I had to stay up then just sleep through it. I could see the waves on the machine so I remember watching that. I felt no pain or discomfort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eeg-for-a-toddler#post-2343429 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 16:46:16 +0000 Lilbear 2343429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we have had several! For my daughters EEGs she has had to be sleep deprived, so we schedule them around her nap time (noon) and we wake her up a little bit early on those days. She is usually tired enough to just hang out and eventually fall asleep during the EEG. They also always put cartoons on a tv for her. We also have our phones/iPad available for watching videos just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eeg-for-a-toddler#post-2343421 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 16:40:10 +0000 cheert16 2343421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No experience but thinking of you guys!!

I'm trying to prepare K for hers on Wednesday, and all I know is that 'typically' patients are required to be still for an hour while the monitoring is done? I don't know how on earth they'll get her to stay still that long.</p> <p>Any experiences? Any info would be helpful. (I've left a message at the hospital for info but haven't heard back). </p>
