All of the electrodes are attached to wires that run down to a backpack that she has to wear. Everytime that my daughter gets one done....my wife takes her out for lunch and to pick out a small toy.
My wife called me crying one time because they were out eating lunch and some lady walked by the table they were sitting at and said under her breath "she shouldn't even be here.....keep her at home next time". ****ing **** is lucky I wasn't there because I would have snapped.

Wow. Was it an old bitty? Some older people tend to think kids like ours should be kept at home or even institutionalized. I guess it's how things were handled way back when. My own mother insinuated that once and I told her if she ever wanted Lisa (my wife who she loved) to ever speak to her again, she'd better never say something that again. My wife also got the treatment your wife received years ago when my son was still a baby and had a feeding tube running up his nose...again, old broad...a cashier. My wife had to stand in front of the door to keep me from heading back down to the Walgreens where this old fart worked.
