My Emily has not had the easiest time in the first 8 years of her life. There has been countless appointments, blood work, MRI's, EEG's, and therapies but I can never remember her ever complain. It is usually just the opposite, she is always smiling.
The latest was her 72 hour EEG. I have never had an EEG but it doesn't look comfortable. I know it was hard for her to sleep, and the electrodes rubbed some skin off of her forehead. The worst thing she said all weekend was how it would be cool if the EEG fell off when she was sleeping. If it would of been me, I would of been complaining the whole time. Nope, not Emily.
My brave little girl who has gone through more tests then a lot of adults. I always try to be strong during her appointments and tests. There are tears that flow sometimes, but they are always mine.
I'm sure that other parents with kids that have disabilities or chronic health problems see the same thing. So many tests & appointments, all with a smile on their face.
