Full story below, but for those who don't have time to read a long email Megan got sleep last night and preliminary EEG results showed no seizure activity - Prayer works!

Megan had her EEG yesterday and it was not a fun experience. She was exhausted and didn't want to have all of the stuff on her head and of course wouldn't go to sleep.  She pretty much screamed through the test and the removal of everything.  Her neurologist office is located next door to the testing facility so after the test I walked over to talk to her nurse.

I know that is not what you are supposed to do but I didn't care I did it anyway.  Because of the last minute scheduling of her EEG we weren't given a packet explaining everything to us so we had no information regarding how long things would take.  The nurse told me that it usually takes 1 week for results but that they put an expedite on Megan's and it would be 1-2 days.   They had told us (we talked several times yesterday before the test) that if Megan had seizure activity again for more than 5 minutes that we needed to take her to the ER; so I asked her if we were supposed to take her to the ER every time she slept until we heard back from them.  She said she would talk to the doctor and get back to me. 

I went to bed when we got home and Will took the call.  Our instructions were that if we saw her having a seizure we were supposed to wake her up and if waking her didn't stop them then we had to go to the ER.  Will and I were both like - SERIOUSLY, wake her up - crazy people we would have been trying to get her to sleep for hours at that point.  The other thing she said was that the doctor briefly scanned the results and she didn't see ANY seizure activity.  She said that she would still need to thoroughly go through the results so this wasn't final, but just her preliminary thoughts.  Megan didn't sleep during the test but they assured us that it would still show activity if it was there. 

I know what happened 2 days ago and I KNOW how prayer works.  We believe that Megan is healed and therefore nothing is going to show up even after hours of looking over her test.  AND we have additional proof of this because here is what happened last night. 

Megan finally got to sleep at 9 pm.  She woke up at 9:30 (I almost cried at this point) and then in 10 minutes she was asleep again.  She went back to sleep on her own for the first time in more than a week.  She woke up twice more and went back to sleep in 10 minutes each time.  So Megan was able to go back to sleep 3 times last night after not being able to do it at all for a week and the two weeks prior to that it was taking her at least 3 hours to get back to sleep. 

She is a different girl this morning.  She is more herself, though she is still way behind on sleep and of course still didn't get enough last night but she got more sleep last night than she has for the past 3 or 4 nights combined. 

Thank you, thank you for your prayers and support and please keep praying for Megan and for all of us. 

On a side note Sam spent the day with my good friends yesterday while we were at the doctor's office.  They ended up keeping him until bedtime so that I could get some sleep when we got home.  Sam had a blast and got TONS of much needed attention.
