Day 7

Woooooooo.

One week in. Day 7.

Day 7, fortunately, was more reminiscent of Day 5 and not Day 6. I couldn't have done two Day 6's in a row.  Well, it was more like Day 5 until right before bed. The entire day he had only 3 seizures. Then, just before we called it a day, he got started on a run of 20 myoclonic seizures. Fortunately, they resolved on their own. No need to administer extra meds. I hate drugging my son. What's worse, a seizing 2 year old or a heavily sedated, can't even pick his own head up toddler? Catch 22 I'd say. Both options suck.
Option3  - stick with the diet and keep your patience in check. Stop rushing the results and let it do it's job.
Option 3 it is.
His overall behavior is improving daily. And, even though he had 20+ seizures today, it's only half of what he had yesterday. So, therefore, improvement!
I'm not going to repeat all of his meals. They're the same until I get a little more comfortable and branch out. He still enjoys them and eats every gram without coercion.
Slight change in ketosis but no big whoop. This morning he tested "moderate" instead of "large". Still in ketosis but will mention it to his dietitian during our next chat.
New pros:
Overall continued improvement.
Less seizures than yesterday.
Decreased sensitivity to sounds - hooray! I can vacuum again!
Improved bowel/bladder function.
Continuing ketosis.
