Car 2's Sweat Test

Today we took Car 2 for his sweat test. The test went alright. He did not like them putting the electrodes on his arms but otherwise he did good. We had to be at the hospital at 8 am and it is about 1 1/2 hours away from our house so we had to get up really early. Once we got there we had to fill out papers and wait for our turn. Finally at a little after 9 they called us back. They put a solution on Car 2's arm and then put two electodes on his arm. One was by his wrist and the other one was just above his elbow. They were hooked up to a machine that looked like a battery charger. After five minutes they took them off and taped a piece of gauze to his forearm. Then they did the other arm. When both arms were taped then we put his jacket on him to keep him from taking the tape off and to help him sweat. I'm not sure how long the gauze was on his arms but when the timer went off they used tweezers to get the gauze off and put it in what looked like a medicine bottle. The girls at the lab said that the doctor would get the results tomorrow. I am not sure if he is going to call us or if we have to wait until the next appointment to find out. I will let everyone know what the results are as soon as we find out. Wish us luck.
