[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 235003, member: 2423"] My daughter A had a sleep-deprived EEG at age 10. We had to keep her up until midnight and then wake her up at 5 am. We watched movies and played games. You could also do late-night shopping (at Target or the grocery store) or go out for ice cream to keep your difficult child awake. I suspect the neuro will tell you to hold his Vistaril, particularly if it is only given to get him to go to sleep. But you should definitely call and ask before the test. My daughter's EEG came back negative. Because of your difficult child's suspected head injury, the neuro wants to see if your difficult child is having seizures, which can cause rages. If it is seizures, certain medications (anticonvulsants) can help your difficult child function betterr. Unfortunately, EEGs are not 100 percent accurate; they only measure if the patient is having a seizure at the time of the test. Has your difficult child had an MRI? Good luck on Wednesday. Let us know how it goes. [/QUOTE]
