We decided to get Olivia as tired as we could to try and induce one of her episodes as the Doctors really need to see it happen so I had to film her all day but sods law nothing happened. I'm going to set the camera up when I go to bed and see if anything happens at night which we've been suspecting does sometimes. Olivia had her EEG on Thursday but her Paediatrician phoned on Friday to say it was normal so he's going to speak to the experts and see if they want to do a sleep deprived EEG.

He's also going to speak to some Neurologists at Southampton as he's out of ideas as to what's going on. Although we believed they were going down the route of Epilepsy he said it's not something that they're seriously considering otherwise they wouldn't have done the MRI.

He said they're looking at whether there are some connection problems in her brain but he said just as importantly is to find out why it's happened.

Olivia has been fine the last few days except for her stutter.
