Hi,

I would make sure to phrase it as a MEDICAL NECESSITY to control seizures.

Make sure the neuro makes that clear. It is a pain to deal with insurance. If

not maybe a state run program can help pay for it. Does your little one get

therapies? PT, OT? Sometimes they can tell you about some programs that will

help. In WV we have a Birth to Three Program that helps kids with special needs

get what they need as far as therapies, coverage for special conditions. Good

Luck. I hope you get help soon.

The early intervention programs for children 0-3 and children 3-5 are Federal.

They just have different names in different states. , if you haven't

already gotten involved in this, I would highly recommend it. In GA, it is

called Babies Can't Wait. Have your Pediatrician refer you. Seizure Disorders

alone would make you eligible. You will get a case manager that will help you

with EVERYTHING! I thought I had everything under control and our case manager

has been wonderful!

AND Bobbi,

Thanks for the tip about early intervention. We are getting EI for our

daughter, but hadn't thought about their ability to help with the keto

stuff!

What a great resource this place is!
