Hammock in the evening

Just a quick update. Things are going well. The weather has been nice and the kids have been enjoying the trampoline.

Tomorrow will be two weeks since Nora’s last seizure. I will talk with the doctor about weaning her anti-epileptic medication. I am excited for that but a little tense too. It’s impossible to say how much it has benefitted her. But it seems a lot of keto parents say their kids improve off the drugs. That may not be surprising given that almost all kids on the keto diet are in the diet for the very reason that drugs have failed to control their seizures. She is doing really well though, apart from the few breakthrough seizures.

Life rolls on.
