Re: To Satnam re: fasting/Caitlin

[Guest guest]

Hi Caitlin, I don't skip meals with Kristan all the time, if she is

too sleepy sometimes she just won't take her bottle either, what can

you do? Kristan's seizures always hit her when she is sleepy or

asleep, there are days when the poor thing just can't fall asleep and

when she finally does, we figure she needs the rest, so we are not

going to wake her up for a meal. Kristan's meals are also very small.

The last seizure Lily had probably wiped her out, Kristan is like

that when she has numerous seizures. I hope things go smoothly again.
