"XL Spikes" and "XL Events" are just very general terms produced by the EEG machine. You'll probably see tons of the spikes, which can happen for all sorts of benign reasons. When the neuro gets the data, he will look it over, and will know the difference between a normal spike and an abnormal spike.

I hope the process goes well for both of you!
