So it's 2016. I feel like we have started this diet ages ago! We have gotten over a lot of road bumps. Illnesses have come and gone and then come again. With each sickness Cavan has shown me that this diet is working. He does things that he used to do when he would seize a lot. He drools, he chews on everything (especially his shirts!) and he falls asleep a lot. But this time around he is missing one thing. Seizures. He would normally seize a lot while sick. Like a lot- a lot. I would see close to twenty drop seizures and/or absence seizures a day when he was sick. So it's kind of amazing that he has had none this winter through the illnesses. I know we have a lot more months to go but it's been a great start.
We have some pretty hefty goals for 2016. We would love to see him come off the Onfi. That is the drug that helped his drop seizures and his absence seizures. It also made him very aggressive and at times moody. It had awesome pros and horrible cons. With the diet in place we feel like we can begin the process to remove that medication. We see the keto team and the neurologist this month. Hopefully they agree!
Wishing you all a very Happy New Year from Cavan the Keto Kid- and his parents too!
First time seeing fireworks!
Cavan being a typical four year old boy!
