Hello I was just wandering what to expect with a veeg. My son is 20 months old and we are having one April 16th. If anyone could kind of explain what goes on and what to expect I would appreciate it. Thanks

A VEEG is where they glue the wires to the hear to monitor the brains electrical activity. Then on a video camera he'll be vide taped 24/7. That way if, and or when he has a seizure. They will be able to see what he physicaly goes through, and have that on their medical records. I've had one 4 times here in California. Sincerely shawn33
