Seizures per day before the diet: \u00a017.3
\nSeizures per day now: \u00a00.8
\nReduction: \u00a095%
\nHalf-life: \u00a014.2 days<\/p>\n
Nora is continuing to do well. \u00a0We’ve had total seizure control for about 20 days since the last bump.<\/p>\n
Her mood, energy, and intelligence have all been good. \u00a0Amazingly, she seems to have been able to avoid the cold that has passed through the rest of the family.<\/p>\n
We have good signs of general development. \u00a0She hasn’t napped for several days now, and been sleeping solidly for 11+ hours each night. \u00a0Her pull-up has been dry in the mornings. \u00a0(I have a conjecture that peeing in her sleep makes her more restless.) \u00a0She has in general been bright and shiny.<\/p>\n
The constipation issue is also well controlled. \u00a0We track her daily fiber intake and also make sure she is taking 2 teaspoons of CALM each day.<\/p>\n
We are hopeful that with a week or two if we can continue such good seizure control, we can try to decrease her Depakote.<\/p>\n
