Comments: The ketogenic diet, which is very high in fats and low in carbohydrates, was first developed almost 80 years ago. It makes the body burn fat for energy instead of glucose. When carefully monitored by a medical team familiar with its use, the diet helps two out of three children who are tried on it and may prevent seizures completely in one out of three. It is a strict diet, and takes a strong comm...(trimmed)

Comments: Abbie is doing well..I don't know if it's the new med or what, but her muscle tone is beautiful -- even the left arm which is hard to keep in proper rotation looks perfectly normal. She did seem a little subdued today, so we're keeping a sharp eye to see if the meds are making her drowsy -- if so, we'll change to another one or try another approach. Thank you for praying!!!
