Hello @abalthas and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I can read the desperation in your post. From what I am reading, it sounds like your daughter's neurologist has recommended an EEG as the next step but you are unable to physically get her to the hospital? Is that your main issue with pursing treatment? EEGs shouldn't, I believe, require an in-hospital stay but you could verify that if you are concerned about being covered by Medicaid.

My daughter is very fragile mentally. She suffers from panic attacks on a daily basis. She has cerebral palsy on right side and is unable to walk. She often says she is "out of her body" I would like to have her admitted so she can have the EEG and be monitored, She is mentally paralyzed because of fear of seizures as well as physically. I just feel helpless and hopeless - it rips my heart out to see her go through this knowing there's nothing I can do. Her only insurance is Medicaid
