Keto Life.

So once again its been forever since I posted! Having 3 kids doesnt allow me much time to update this... and then it slips my mind.
Aurora has been doing great! She has been on the Ketogenic diet now for a year. And went almost 80 days with not one seizure!!!! Thats a record for her. She had 1 day of seizures and now is back on to a couple weeks of none. Even though she isnt seizure free, I wouldnt want it any other way.... this is better than before, so I will except it and be grateful! We transfered her diet care into the Boston Childrens Hospitals hands, where I now have more resources at my reach. This has also been helpful in allowing Aurora to have more food options and ideas! She had popcorn with butter for the first time in 1 year!!!! And today she ate Chocolate Cake with Cheesecake Frosting (using Ketocal Powder!) and its actually very yummy!!!

Im very lucky that she has been compliant with the diet, and hasnt given me too much of a struggle to eat the foods. She has her days where she doesnt want to finish the mayo or butter that she has to eat! But.... she does a great job, and realizes that this diet has stopped her seizures for the most part! Aurora amazes me everyday with her bright creative mind, and her bubbly personality!!!

Congratulations on hitting the one-year mark! My daughter Jade had her one-year keto anniversary at the end of October. I can't believe how fast the year has flown by. Like Aurora, she's doing much better than before and we're grateful that she is healing.

*high five* :)
