Day 1 Keto Diet :)

I sat wondering tonight how I was going to get the world to share this special day with me. It wasn't until I came to write it that realisation hit me that I created this blog for me initially and not the world. Now I use it for me and for others..... Knowledge is hope and living life with epilepsy means that you will endure peaks, troughs and pauses whilst others cruise by steadily.

 As we have taken each step in this new life coping with Toby's epilepsy I have struggled to process all my thoughts the same way. I realised that writing things down is therapeutic and has been my coping mechanism. From the very beginning I wanted to write a book entitled 'Epilepsy & Me'. I have started it however books need a beginning, a middle and an end............ so until I have my ending I will be unable to publish my book. We shall have to make do instead with my blog :)

Today has been a good day if it was rated out of ten it would be an 8 and I don't quite know if it is the effects of this fabulous diet or simply a good day......... I am writing today to remind myself in times to come that after the storm comes a glorious rainbow..... Today Toby and Hallie were my rainbow as they interacted on a different level. Today my children played together like brother and sister, something I have waited a long time to see. It would however be naive of me to say it was the start of the diet as we have only substituted one meal so far and Toby only has traces of ketones in his body. That said there is absolutely every possibility it is the effects of the diet as it is just too much of a coincidence..... either way I would like to share it all with you and let you know that i'm smiling in both my heart and on my face......speak soon peeps .... day two tomorrow and more diet plans to try !
