Just been to the Dr's and been told Toby has a throat and ear infection which is a shock to me because he has been really good considering, which again highlights the benefits of this diet. If this had happened a few weeks ago entertaining Toby safely would be very difficult for me as his seizures are worse and he is very unsettled. Toby still has better afternoons, he is so funny when he's on form we played hide and seek the other night and he was giggling so much I could not stop grinning.

So ketones are rising, and diet still going strong... I am now wondering if the reduction last week was the onset of this awful infection? Only time will tell as Toby finishes his antibiotics.

Yesterday Toby had his TEDs review which was very frustrating, six people and Toby in a room discussing their findings.... outcome is usually non productive and nothing new is gained........ It's so alarming to me that this diet is so new to many professionals, and then their ignorance to it. The fact that it's labelled a diet tends to initiate an automatic roll-eyes reaction, as if someone were trying to lose weight.

Once I start to talk about the medical process on the body and how it works for Toby most people then get it for a minute at least!

I was a born talker and I could go on and on about something forever, I realise now why maybe this was so. I will not give up on educating the uneducated of the ketogenic diet and it's benefits, and I truly hope that my voice along with others will be heard and acknowledged.

As Toby is poorly I will probably be preoccupied for the next few days but I will be back with news of his journey....... until then take care and thank you for taking the time to read and please email me if you have any questions .... I may take a day or two but I will always get back to you, :)
