1 month follow up, followed up

After Jamie's appointment, his seizure free streak ended on Day 9. :( I'm only allowing myself to be sad for a moment. Sure a seizure is heartbreaking when he's gone without, but here is a little equation for you:

           9 days X 40 seizures per day = 360, 360 - 1 = 359 less seizures for James

                                             Ya, I'm happy about that!

I am also pleased to announce that James' repeat lab work is perfect! His overall cholesterol levels and triglycerides are actually BETTER than BEFORE he started the diet! Strange considering he went from drinking soy milk and eating mainly fruits and vegetables to drinking and eating, well, fatty cholesterol! Interesting to say the least ... and makes me wonder if becoming a vegetarian due to my own high cholesterol even makes sense now.
Hmm...

New cholesterol level = 164 down from 188 at start of diet - yay!

New triglyceride level = 89 down from 98 at start of diet (Extra YAY!)

NO changes to the diet. We just keep on keepin' on!!

What we're doing is working. :-)

Also, I received a request from James' girlfriend, and physical therapist, Kristie, for more pictures on the blog. So, I'm going to make an effort to keep my audience happy.  :)
