Maddie's Hearing Test...

Maddie had a hearing test scheduled at the Elks today. The pediatrician wouldn't prescribe the sedation, so they called Amy and let her know they needed to keep her up all night to get her to sleep naturally for the appointment...Easier said than done. Amy got her up at 4:30am this morning and didn't let her have a nap. By they time we got to the office she was a Mad Maddie, she played for a little bit with the toys while we waited.
Maddie and Mommy when we got into the room.
Before they had her go to sleep they gave her a mini facial...they had to make sure her skin was completely clean where they were going to hook her up for the hearing test.
Maddie fell asleep once, but woke up as soon as they started hooking up the wires to her. So I took Braden out to the waiting room, because I was sure he would wake up soon and cry and wake up Maddie. Amy got her back to sleep and had to test her by taking her picture...she figured if she didn't wake up when the flash went off she should be sound asleep.
Then they came in to hook her up.

It wasn't very long before she woke up and started grabbing at the wires. Amy got some pictures before they took them off because it was clear at this point, the test was not going to work.

On the way home she was so tired, but she wouldn't fall asleep.
Better luck next time I guess.

how long does the test take once she is hooked up? And why wouldn't they sudate her? I'm sorry it was unsucessful.
