She's depraved on account-a she's deprived!

We now have our official EEG appointment with the doctor. The doctor's appointment is at 11am next Friday, and her EEG test is that morning at 8:45.

And she has to be sleep-deprived.

Now, napping is a big sport in our house, so this could take some doing. Here are the rules:

*Put her to bed later than normal on Thursday (say, 10pm)
*Wake her up at 4:00am. At this point she can only have clear liquids.
*She can have no food or water after 6:30am.
*We have to keep her awake from 4am until the EEG test at 8:45, so one of us will have to be in the back seat annoying her until she gets there.

She is going to be one cross bunny.

Aw, poor sweetie. I had to do the same thing at age 24, I can't even imagine a little bunny like her. Good luck! We'll be thinking about you all.

My thoughts are with you and the whole family. I don't envy either of you after the beautiful bunny girl has been awake against her will. You will be in my thoughts and prayers!!

Well, look on the bright side - it's just another excuse to annoy your child - every parent's favorite activity.Honestly though, I"ll be thinking about you three.

I'll be thinking about you two and the Bunny. I sure hope all is well with the EEG and it is a transient condition. I'm sure you all will be in great hands, too :).

She comes from good stock and has enough food on reserve, as we all do in this family. Tell her I will say a prayer to Our Lady of EEG's in Momo's name. Hang in there. Can't wait to see her again since I am never trusted to babysit. I have my own car now and could get myself to and from your house. Love, Cathy

I'm praying for you guys and Quinn right now and all day. Peace.

I had to go through that with my son last year. It isn't really all that bad at all. Just keeping them awake is the hard part. Hope you get good results :0)

her scan is scheduled for my birthday! this means that i'll have to think of someone other than myself on Friday. As if I could help praying and wishing for her health...not possible.
