Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
Well we had dinner at Michael's this year and what a feast.
The only news on our homefront is our small lad is going in to the hospital again. At least we have a date he is supposed to be going in on the 16th of December and we know he will be in for hopefully a week. We are going to try the Keto diet on him. You are all probably saying she is putting him on a diet but this is a special diet to hopefully control his seizures. The thing is his meds are not working and they won't do the surgery so the other options opened to us is try more meds or since he has the feeding tube we were given the green light to go ahead with the Keto diet.
The diet is something like the Aktins diet in which we make our body burn fat instead of sugars. The Keto diet follows the same pattern.3:1 ratio with the fats being the 3 and protein and carbs being the 1.
THe hopwful out come is Finnian will fall in to A: the diet works and we can wean him off his meds. B: The diet helps and he only needs to be on one or two at low doses to have seizure control or C: The diet doesn't work and we have to change his meds. We are hoping he will be in either A or B groups. IF we are in the C group well at least we tried.
Hopefully I will be taking our Christmas pics this week and I have 98% of my shopping done. So I am on top of things for a change.
