Return of the Q-Tip

Last week, Little Tom and I ventured to the neurologist for another EEG. Elizabeth stayed at home with our sweet nanny, which allowed me to focus all of my time on Tom. Similar to our last appointment, Tom was a pure angel. We had the same nurse as before; it took her awhile to remember us, since we left Elizabeth and limo at home - but she said she has been bragging about Tom since our last trip in.
Dr. Berenson was very impressed when he saw Tom - he mentioned his weight gain, his laughter, his sociability, and his eye contact. It was very pleasing to hear him say all of these positive things about Tom, but also said that we still need to keep a steady watch on his development. Below are some pictures from our appointment, with comments added by Tom:
Getting ready for the EEG, her comes the sticky stuff
I am getting all geared up Here comes the head wrap
Check out these Elvis sideburns! Contrary to what I have on my head, I am very happy Mommy gets to hold me while the test is taking place

Look at all the colored wires

The test is over! I wonder what this stuff is going to do to my hair?

My hari is still a little greasy, but Mom loves me anyway -

What a day, I am glad I get to go home now.

Please continue to keep us in your prayers.

Oh, your sweet boy! There's nothing sweeter than a sleeping baby picture. I will continue to pray for Tom and I hope you get good results back soon. I love his little round face in the 2nd ro 3rd? picture. So cute. He really is getting big! By the way...update us on your nanny. I'd love to hear how that's going.
