Tanners doctor appointment

August 9, 2004

Tanner had his doctor appointment today (the first one after starting the

ketogenic diet..) He gained a couple of pounds but the doctor is still going to

up his calories by 100 a day because he has been very hungry lately. He will be

on 1265. He looks a lot better and he can talk in sentences now. They have

taken him off the dilantin and the daily diazapam. They are now going to wean

him off the small amount of kepra that he takes. If that goes okay, in 2 months

they are going to do an EEG and maybe wean him off the depakote. He also takes

lamictal.

Grandma to Tanner, age 5

No seizures since starting the ketogenic diet the first of July. Had lots

before that.

If things deterioriate, you might want to consider dropping those

calories as it might interfere with the effectiveness of the diet. Great

to hear that things are going so well for you. Congratulations!
