Day 19

GLORIOUS IMPROVEMENT!!

Today he looks good! Increased attention, better focus, decreased urine retention, even his skin looks better!

No seizures during the day and only 6 at night! 6!
On a strange note, his seizures have changed yet again. For well over a year he has always looked to the right while having a seizure and now he's looking to the left. It's almost as though his seizures are disappearing in order of most recent onset.

The grand mal/tonic clonic went away first - those were his most recent seizures (prior to starting diet.)
Next the myoclonic jerks started to change. They became less and less physical.
Then it looked more like an absence seizure with his head turning to the right.
Now it's an absence with a head turn to the left.

The only seizures preceding the absence left-turn seizures were when he was 6 months old and they were too minute to see.

I think his brain is starting to heal itself. I have no other explanation. I truly believe in my gut that this is what's happening.

I'm nervously and cautiously optimistic!
