Tips for 6 year old getting a video eeg
Sat, 08/13/2011 - 10:14Topic: Living With Epilepsy - Youth
My daughter is 6 and going for her first video EEG. We are checking into the hospital for three days. Does anyone have tips or suggestions for our hospital stay? Or things they wish they had known before. I am worried about preparing her for being hooked up to all the wires and keeping her entertained for all that time. I also don't really know what to expect. Thanks for any help.
