DD (21 months) is having a EEG test to screen for Epilepsy etc as she has had a couple of seizures close together. Its going to be a long day, with an early start to get to Palmerston North for an 11 am appointment.

We need to keep her clam and entertained during the hour the test takes.

I was wondering if anyone had had this done with a wee one and how you got them to sit there? We can feed her and take toys. Plan is to put a smart phone on flight mode and play clips and games she likes. She'll be quite tired and grumpy at that time of day as she naps at about 12.15. Any other tips?
