Ingrid had an EEG done (as a follow-up after her fainting episode – to rule out epilepsy I guess). Somehow the reception forgot we were there (even though we were right in front of the reception desk, playing not very quietly) so we had to wait for an hour before we were seen. I didn’t even think of complaining sooner than that because I’m so used to hospital delays – and the people who were seen before us had actually arrived before us, too, so I didn’t suspect anything out of the ordinary.

Anyway, the poor girl was kept awake an hour past her normal nap time – using annoying, bleeping, vibrating toys – and was then totally messed up for the rest of the day. She couldn’t even shut her eyes during the bus ride home, and ended up staying awake for 6 hours instead of the normal 2.5. Then a short nap from which she woke crying, add some residual tiredness from yesterday’s fever and you can imagine the state she was in by the evening. So tired she had no appetite, but at the same time so overstimulated that she was unable to go to sleep, oscillating between crying and energetic playing. Even breastfeeding didn’t calm her. She didn’t fall asleep until 20:30.

Oh, and we have no results from the EEG – apparently the person there was just some sort of technician and the recording will be sent to someone else to be interpreted.
