Bradyn in the big D

Well, we made it! We went to Dallas on Sunday for Bradyn's neurologist appointment. Bradyn was the BEST little boy!! I was really worried because our plane left Amarillo at 2:00 and he did not get a nap that day. He fussed for a couple of minutes when we got on the plane, but he was calm by the time we took off. He was so good the whole time!

His appointment was on Monday. It went pretty good. The Dr. wants to have us back in a month to have another EEG (test for seizures). He wants to admit Bradyn to the hospital and run the test for 2 days. He will have about 20 wires glued to his head the entire time. It takes some major entertaining to keep Bradyn compliant during the test. We will definitely be bringing some grandparents along on this trip. His last EEG was when he was 14 months old so I guess it is time for another one. The Dr said that he is mainly concerned about watching Bradyn at night. Since he does not sleep and he is usually very jumpy in his sleep, the Dr wants to make sure there is nothing going on.

We headed back to the airport after the appointment. Bradyn had snuck in a very rare morning nap so he was still happy. He was happy and playing the whole way back to Amarillo. He even got compliments from 3 fellow travelers on what a good boy he was! Needless to say, we will now be flying from now on. We stopped at one of Bradyn's favorite places to eat, Dyer's, in Pampa and got home at 8:30 last night. We were still pretty worn out, but it was a great trip. I am so relieved.

Mommy is so FUNNY!
Bradyn had some very timely shoowees during the trip. I changed him on the shuttle bus. We were the only ones riding and the driver said to go ahead. He also had a shoowee on the runway on the way home and not 1, but 2 shoowees from Perryton to Amarillo on the way!

Flying high!
Once again, Grandpa was the best help. Bradyn absolutely adores him.
