EEG

Elias's doctor asked us to set up an EEG for him after his seizure a few weeks ago, so this morning we went to the hospital to have that taken care of. We were told to keep him up a couple extra hours last night and wake him up a couple hours early this morning, so that hopefully he'd fall asleep during the test. He was tired and grumpy, but a pretty good sport about having to sit still and have the machine hooked up all over his head. He never did sleep, however.

Later, we all decided to go to Fernhill Park. Before we left, though, Elias had some instructions for us. I may be paraphrasing, but...

"Okay, Mom and Dad, you stand over there. Next to each other. Okay, now, do you want to play pirate ship? I'll be the captain. That means I'll have to bring my sword to the park. Okay, now Dad, you can be my first mate. And Mom, you can be my second mate."

At the park, we swam from our ship to an island with a jungle on it. There were snakes there, and lions, and packs of wolves, but also a friendly dog named Willoughby, who came home with us and shared some chocolate with Elias after dinner.
