Guest guest Posted May 9, 2001 Report Share Posted May 9, 2001 Dear Keto Families, My son , who has been on the diet for 5 years,was put into the hospital for having status absence siezure last week, We changed his ratio from 4-1 to 3-1 and he began taking Depakote and Lamtical. His siezures began under control after the 5 day in the hospital and we were released on the seventh day. Every day I saw him getting more alert and remian siezure free, Sunday night we noticed small spots on his back and chest, We call the nuero and saw to stop Lactimal and give him Bendraly, By the next morning, he was completely covered in spots, Pacthes of red every where, we rush him to the doctor and he sent us to the hospital, was given Steriods every six hours via IV, The rash began clearing up after the second treament, Needless to say my son is allergic to Lamitcal but he recovered quickly and was released after 24 hours, He remains siezure free and was quite active and alert, We are still on the Depokote but we are completely off the Lamtical. We are relived that the Lamticol was not the factor in which gave us siezure control. I guess sometimes the road to recovery can have some bumps but glad we have the diet as it still remains to be the only thing that controls my son siezures, Hopefully we can stay out of the hospital and my son can completely recover from his relapse, Thank you for this list as I wonderful to have families who understand the trama and heartbreak that go along with epiliespy,,,,,,,,Debbie,,,Momma to Keto dud Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
