As a new treatment option, we have been trying a very strict Ketogenic diet. To say that this diet is challenging would be an understatement. It is difficult to prepare, to give him very limited amounts of food, and to keep him away from other foods. On Thanksgiving though, God heard Will’s little prayers for help! Last night, Terry, Will, Charolet, and myself sat around the kitchen table and gave thanks for how much God has blessed us. We were especially happy to give thanks for Will only having 2 seizures that day! Two seizures..to even say that blows my mind! This was the first day we had ever seen less than 40-50 for the day! We played all day together, listened to him laugh, and cried tears of happiness that, even if for one day, we had our little boy back!
There is nothing that a parent won’t do for their child…even if that means spending countless hours creating and preparing foods to give relief to Will. We will continue doing that forever if it means we have a day like this! We don't know what tomorrow will bring, but on this Thanksgiving, Terry and I could not be any more thankful!
