LA

Today we went to LA for an EEG (where they stick the electrodes on her head and measure brain activity) and to adjust her helmet. Driving back into Bakersfield our car said 113 degrees, it was so nice in LA...we don't usually like LA, but we were missing the cool weather when we drove back in to Bako-land...they don't call it Bako for nothing. :)

This morning before we left we weighed Mia and she's 13 pounds 5 ounces! Praise the Lord! Every ounce counts!

So we arrived in LA around 11 for her EEG and they told us, "we need her to sleep through part of it so do you think you could keep her awake for one of her naps so she is real tired when she's here..." Obviously they've never had kids...it's near impossible to keep her awake, especially in the car, when she's tired! Thankfully though she was ready for another nap at 11 when we got there so she went to sleep pretty quickly during the EEG. In fact she was asleep for most of the EEG, at one point they flashed strobe lights in her face (when she was sleeping) and it didn't phase her a bit. At the end we asked for the results, but they wouldn't tell us a thing...they said the doctor would call us in a week or so...we'll just be patient until then.

After that we went over to the helmet place and they made a few adjustments and told us that she needs to wear it all day now for two weeks...and then we'll be back in two weeks for them to look at her again. When we got home though her helmet was doing some of the same stuff so pray that we'll sort through it!
