My darling son was born in early 2004. I was induced. The midwives attending the birth failed to monitor my baby adequately and appropriately, he was born with brain damage as a result. I have struggled to come to terms with what happened to us and I am using this blog to help me sort my feelings out.

Yesterday my darling boy had a sleep deprived EEG in the hope that the results will shed some light about what is going on with the seizures - they have all happened at night when he is tired. Sitting with him as he was attached to the machine was odd. He was attached to an EEG machine when I first met him - not counting when he was put on me blue and lifeless after his birth. He was screaming and I thought the electrodes were needles in his head. Yesterday he didn't scream. He had an EEG not that long ago and knew what to expect. He watched a Postman Pat video and relaxed. The lady performing the EEG asked some background questions, as they like to do not really listening to the answers (well that is how it seems to me) and not considering the pain the answers cause. When I said during birth his CTG was pathological for 90 minutes she looked at me as if I had no idea what I was talking about.
