Re: Langan is Back in the Hospital = (

, have they talked about putting her on a system alkalyzer, like Bicitra or

Polycitra? I wonder what would make her bicarb fluctuate so much? Is she well

hydrated?

Sorry to hear you're back in, but sounds like you can make some headway while

you're there, w/ the VEEG, etc.

Langan is Back in the Hospital = (

Hello all. Just wanted to give an update. After being released on Sunday and

having her best day since the diet started, Langan's bicarb levels went down

Monday to 11. We talked to our neuro here in Cincinnati and she wanted us here

to treat. Soooo we packed the car and here we are- got in late last night.

They took a bicarb level when we got here and it was at 17???? Not sure what to

think about that. It might have something to do with how she ate yesterday.

She ate her breakfast but screamed through her second meal and wouldn't eat it

(at 11, as scheduled) so her nanny gave it to her when she woke up at 2:30.

Then she was screaming for her next meal at 4 (she usually has it at 3:30) so we

gave it to her. And she had her dinner on the road at 7:30 (normal time). So I

am wondering if 3 meals in 5 hours pushed up her bicarbs. Hmmm. I wish her

nanny had just thrown out that meal and waited for her next meal time but she

didn't know b/c that never happened before, so here we are. We're waiting to

see the bicarb level from this morning and to see if they can get us in early

for the VEEG (we were supposed to be here Monday). Just wanted to give an

update. Please keep Langan in your thoughts!

4/2/04 and getting close to taking care of those seizures!!)
