Ketogenic Diaries

The blood test results came back today, and the doctor and dietician recommend going up again on the diet. So we'll do a 2.5 fat to 1 carb ratio, and see how she does on that. Hopefully, it'll help a little to lessen the seizure activity. I'm still wondering what effect her Addison medicine, hydrocortisone, has on the effectiveness of the diet. Pray that it doesn't have any effect, and that the diet can work.

Meanwhile, she is still very sleepy and again, having lots of seizures throughout the day. I wonder if the sleepiness is simply the "postictal" state that many people experience after having seizures.

Jean

I wait for the Lord, my soul does wait,
And in His word do I hope.
My soul waits for the Lord more than the watchmen for the morning;
Indeed, more than the watchmen for the morning. Psalm 130:5,6
