Eliana's admission and 24 hour EEG

"Eventful" day will not begin to describe Eliana's day today. Started early with yummy breakfast and. Fun ride in the Taxi all the way to UCLA Hospital. Admission took 2 hours! Luckily Eliana had her doctor kit and her teddy , "Doc" near with her to keep her busy. After being admitted in We had to wait an additional hour in which time we got a bite to eat. That was definitely a highlight of Eliana's day:-) because when we went out to eat there were doctors everywhere, Eliana was so overwhelmed with excitement , she would say ," Hi Doctors ,I'm a Doctor too!". My baby girl was just so excited,for anyone who knows my baby you know she wants to be a Doctor. I'm glad she will always have this memory in her mind and her heart. After lunch we went to the gift shop where she found it... Yes" IT "... A doctor scrub outfit and doctor kit. That was another highlight of her day . Of course we bought it

          Now to the dirty work
Admitted , on to the pediatric ward. Ana dressed in her scrubs and was ready for her evaluation and to be hooked up for her 24 hour EEG.
The nurses were so nice and took great care of Ana. After being hooked up to the EEG for about an hour several nurses and doctors came in. The doc evaluated the EEG and noticed some abnormalities but nothing "major" and we would the full reading tomorrow. Ana was very over whelmed and stopped talking, stiffened up and had lots of jerks and shoulder shrugs... Luckily it was taped And a doctor did witness her Episode.  It took Ana a while to come around and be herself again , but she came Around:-). The nurse ended up bringing Ana a gift , making her a name badge and bringing some yummy ice cream. ( ice cream always makes everything better)
Now we sit and wait.

Tomorrow early Morning she will not be able to eat after 6:00 am because she has a PET/CAT scan and following that will be an MRI. She will be sedated for those procedures:-(
So, that means early morning poke with a IV Needle. we may have to do some
Genetic testing and forced seizure activity but we will find all that out tomorrow.
Until then , have a Great night and we'll have updates tomorrow !

Good night my Eliana, you've done great today and your strength never seizes to amaze me sweetheart! I love you with all my heart night-night
