My daughter is scheduled for an EEG tomorrow

I wouldn't worry too much. It's totally non-invasive and relatively painless (there is a bit of a pinprick when they attach the electrodes). If they're checking for epilepsy, they'll just attach the electrodes and flash a light at 3-5 times per second (the frequency of alpha waves in the brain). It won't have any effect on her at all.

I hope she is ok. My nephew had a really bad seizure and they put him on meds and kept doing EEG's and MRIs but that has been about 10 years ago and he never did have any more.

I am missing part of my brain. I was just born without it. I hae had hundreds of EEG's, and brain scans and MRI scans. No big deal at all. I still have the print-outs of my brain-waves in my scrap book. I hope verything went OK today. I see that my husand left a comment on this discussion also. She is in our prayers.

By the time I'm responding to this I'm sure you'd daughter will have had her test and I hope that all was fine. If it were one of my kids due for a test like this I'd be apprehensive but just glad that a test would show up anything that were wrong. We're really very lucky that we have all this medical science available to us so that we have early warning of any problems and have the chance to do something about it if the tests show anything untoward.

I am not sure what a EEG is, but any medical precedure can be scary. And of course as her mother you would be nervous. We know that God will never put more on us than we can bare, and as a human he understands your concern, Just pray and leave it in God's hands, everything will be okay. I will keep you and your daughter in my prayers. Prayer is powerful.

I just had the same thing happen to me in April. I went through CAT Scans, MRIs, an MRA, and a 48 hour EEG. They hooked up a bunch of wires to my head that were attatched to a battery pack and another little pack that bundled the wires. It doesn't hurt at all. Hopefully your daughter doesn't have to go through the 48 hour ordeal, just because it a just a pain. ( Not literally) If she is just going to have one done and come home without wires, it's a piece of cake so to speak. This type will not hurt her at all either, the tests are not invasive at all, and certainly not painful. I hope all her tests turn out good for both of you, I am also a Mom and know how it feels to worry about your children. My oldest is 18 and my youngest is 5. The five year old had a hernia that she was born with, it didnt' show up until she was 4. She had to have surgery, I was petrified ! It was all over in 45 minutes and she is great ! Don't worry , and don't be afraid. When you ask God to watch out for you , He will. God Bless !

I would be nervous if it were my child too. I wish your daughter the best of luck on her EEG tomorrow.

hi there.. I'll pray for you and your daughter.. Just trust in God and everything will be ok... Just believe in His unconditional love and healing hand.. When there's no way.. always remember that God will make a way in everything.. God will not give us anything that we can't handle.. God Bless you with the EEG..
