Help docs! i'm worried about my 2 year old son having a holter monitor test. i don't know what to expect?

Simple procedure: Technicians apply sticky patches attached to wires leading to a pager like device. The device is warn on clothing articles for the duration of the test, commonly 24 hours while the kid does his normal activities at home.The next day the technician retrieves the device removes the patches and you go home. A computer reads through the data and prints out any areas that need visual study.
