Keto Diet Deep-sixed

The big news today came in the form of an e-mail from the dietician giving us the go-ahead to completely go off the ketogenic diet! This means she can start eating whatever, whenever, wherever. It also means that we don't have to measure any more formula. We can also move back to liquid medicine, and don't have to grind up all her meds in a pill-crusher. This is a big thing. Please pray that she make a smooth transition, and that she remain seizure-free. She's almost 3 month's seizure-free.

Annie did catch a sinus bug it seems, so we're giving her stress doses of hydrocortisone to help her fight it. She doesn't seem to be too bothered by it, and did well in school today--really her nose is only runny in the morning. Oh, and when I picked Annie up from school today, nurse Moira said she counted 7 words so far. Okay, I'm even surprised about that. And I think I figured out what her sound "Ey-A" is--it's the last 2 syllables of big sister Olivia. Makes sense.

Anyway--that's the news for today. Thanks again for your prayers for no seizures, and for this cold to make a quick exit--and for those words to keep on coming!

PS. Could I ask for a couple of other requests?

1. Pray for more movement--that she WANT to move around the floor, either by scooting or crawling or walking.
2. Pray for complete healing of her right hand/arm. She has been reaching more with her left arm/hand, and uses it with quite a lot of dexterity, but her right arm/hand just isn't getting where it needs to be.
