Well we got through two weeks. It has been going well, but still concerned about Sadie's tiredness. Its so frustrating to see her like this, but right now we don't know what is cold and what is diet. Sadie and the baby are both filled with such a bad cold that we know this has to be impacting her...

The last few days have been ok. Sadie is a trooper and is really doing very well eating. We are really adapting to making her meals and her Ketones are doing well, lower still in the am and higher through the day. The tough part now is getting her to adjust...She has been really tired and its...

The last few days have been fairly good for Sadie. She is really adapting well to the food, and Blair has really been creative with her fruit receipes by mashing it and then adding it to the cream and putting it in the freezer for a few minutes. She has been liking it and we just tell her its...

Well tommorow marks the week that we started this journey and I must say we are settling into this diet quite nicely. Sadie had a good day, and eat all her meals and all her snack. The biggest challenge right now with her is getting the fluids into her. It has been a major challenge. She is allowed...

Well I must say, today was a better day! Sadie did so great with her meals today. We started off a bit slow with breakfast and thought we were in for another challenging day, but at lunch she was interested in eating, actually said some of it was yummy! I think the trick with us was that we...

Well this blog was set out to be an honest look at the ketogenic diet, so in that spirit, I must say today was a mentally draining day! So the wins of the day first...Preparing the meals went actually pretty smoothly. We were up and at it this am, and got Sadie's first home cooked...

Today was a bit overwhelming, but we are home at last! We met with Sadie's dietitian and got receipes to take home, and a lot of documentation, on things such as medications on the diet, constipation, trouble shooting tips for things such as falling out of Ketosis or being too far into Ketosis. The...

Sadie had a pretty good day, she is doing pretty good with the meals, she hasn't finished a meal yet, but has been eating all the fatty type foods we need her to in order to get her Ketones higher. We checked her levels this afternoon and they are almost to the highest level on the marker, see...

It felt at the start of today like one step forward two back. Sadie had had 3 seizures by 1pm and we needed to give her Adavan. Her ketone levels were checked in the am and there were none present yet. Sadie has been a major trooper with the diet. It is a small amount of food, but the cream, butter...

Well Day one has been interesting. Sadie had a few seizures through the night and one early in the morning so the day started with her groogy and tired. The only good thing about this is that she wasn't wanting breakfast so the transition to her first meal at lunch went well. We got checked in and...
