Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 Hello to all, How comforting to know there are people/mothers out there that I can talk to about the craziness of what we are going through. My name is Dawn Sullivan and my husband and I adopted our precious Abby Grace from Kazakhstan 8 months ago. Sadly, in November it became very obvious to us that something was really wrong and Abby starting having many seizures a day. After two stay in the hospital, attempted use of Trileptol, Dilantin, Keppra, Depakote (kon), two allergic reactions, and several set backs, we are in our second week of the Keto diet (in addition to using Keppra). Abby only showed two days of improvment and has gone back to averaging over 20 seizures a day. She has semi-paralysis on her right side and is very weak. So my questions are 1) how long were you on the diet before you saw some results/improvement? 2) how many of you have tried other things that have helped or been successful? 3) How do you keep your sanity when you watch your child suffer and get worse everyday? We seem to be getting closer and closer to brain surgery and I'd also be interested in anyone who has had success with that. Thank you so much. I was/am so excited to see others out there dealing with the same fears, frustrations, and discouragement that we deal with daily. I look forward to hearing from you.
