Happy New Year!!
We have kept extremely low key over the holidays this year. It has been very relaxing after a busy fall. School kicks in again in two days, along with soccer, Oasis (women’s bible study and worship at our church Wednesday mornings), and anything else that may show up!
Mason has been doing extremely well going off the diet. His seizures have come down a bit. So he is having between 5 and 8 per day right now. His behavior has improved dramatically! He is very happy all day, which is a surprise, because he has been at home most of the time, other than a couple of times to Grandpa and Grandma’s home. he has also been playing Reader Rabbit Toddler on the computer. We hooked up an old computer for Mason, and it’s amazing how well he knows what to do!! The program is made for kids ages 1 – 3. Mason’s development lies between ages 1 – 2. My niece just turned two, and it is amazing how alike Mason and Ava are in many ways.
Regarding food, Mason had pizza for the first time tonight. He’s had a couple of Ritz crackers in the last two days, otherwise no breads yet. He is still mostly having foods that are low carb, as listed on the ketogenic diet, but quantities are not limited. No cream or oil, No weighing, no worrying that he might pick up something and eat it that he’s not allowed. After everything has been so controlled for six months it has felt quite strange having freedom.
Over all, this has been a wonderful Christmas! (in spite of the cough I’ve had since November as well as a head cold over Christmas, a case of head lice on one child of ours, and just plain being tired)
Thank you for your past and continued prayers!
May God richly bless you with His peace this year!!!
Love Shirley
