Aurora is doing well!!!

108 days of no seizures for my baby girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the newest record! I couldnt be more grateful! I hate saying how many days its been because I fear I am going to jinx it! But I have to say it because I am so happy for her!! This diet is giving her, her life back!

Recently Aurora got sick and then it turned into Pnemonia! She had gotten so sick, and this is because she has seizures, she is on the Ketogenic Diet. When Aurora gets sick, its very different than as if my 10 month old (duncan) got sick. he too had Pnemonia but wasnt even CLOSE to as sick as Aurora was. It bugs me because people do not understand that when Aurora gets sick, she has other factors that play into how well she will do or not do! She became very very dehydrated. The Ketogenic Diet ALREADY suppresses thirst! So being sick made her not want to drink at all. on top of that she had a fever of 105.3! So this too made her dehydrated! Than she wasnt eating. For someone on the Ketogenic Diet that has established Ketones, eating only makes these Ketones larger. You have to be careful that your child doesnt produce TOO MANY ketones, and also that they do not become Acidophic, which is when your blood produces too much acid and it throws your PH off in your blood! This is what they thought had happened to her when we rushed her to the ER.. but luckily it did not! PHEW!

After 4 days in the hospital, IV fluids for 2 days, Oxygen, and barely eating or drinking, she came home! For the first couple days of being home she was very tired, still not eating or drinking...... but she did perk up and became much better! When she gets sick, it ALWAYS scares me! I just dont think that will ever go away.

Besides that, she is doing well! Growing physically and socially! Shes a bright little girl, and I cant wait for her to start school in the Fall. now that she is in WAY better control of her seizures, I am more confident on sending her to school.

Her brothers: Wesley is getting so big. Hes so handsome, yet an animal. He is very musically talented, and also now has picked up the hobby of breakdancing. And for him being only 2, hes soooooooo cute doing it!!!!!! Hes a good boy, and LOVES his sister Aurora!!!

Duncan is getting so big, and will be 1 years old in a few months! Its so unreal to me that they can grow so fast, and change SO much in one year!!!!! He has cut 6 teeth all at once, and I am trying to CHERISH that gummy smile for as long as I can before those chomps come all the way in!

Kelly and I are doing VERY WELL! We have been busy planning our wedding... which is coming up in 3 months! I cannot wait to marry him, and complete our family. Aurora asks everyday "daddy are you going to marry mommy yet?!?!?" She has no patients! LOL. I cant wait to become Mrs. Husk, and then move on to the next chapter in our lives, BUYING A HOUSE!!! We are both very sick of renting and paying more money than we should... its time to own a house!!!!!!!

So there is an update for now :)
