Oops, it's been awhile....

Maybe now that I have a laptop of my own, I can get back on this blog :)

Over the past few months Matthew has been on the ketogenic diet. It's a lot of work for me to prep & plan meals. Everything is so exact. 35 oz of 36% heavy whipping cream (that's about 2 oz) per meal. I have to plan my day out & plan if we will be out of the house for meals...then pack everything to go. It's not always easy to feed a 2 year old turkey with canola oil & veggie for lunch on the go, esp cold.

4 weeks ago Matthew got sick. Before this he was having one seizure per day. He is still sick and now has regressed a bit & has 10-30 seizures per day. The seizures are usually myoclonic, so they may last 1 second to 15 minutes of clusters. He has had several tonic/clonics (aka grand mal) and needed rescue Valium. CVS knows us well and I don't have to give my name when picking up meds. It's a mixed feeling....slightly embarassing, but kinda neat. I feel like I need to tell them we're moving out of state so they don't worry.

We started antibiotics yesterday for a possible sinus infection. Hopefully this will clear out the bug & by the time we move to Scott AFB (May 14) he will be better & seizures under control
