Hanging in there

Not much new to report. Lily continues on her diet at a 2:1 ratio. She's still very picky about what she will & won't drink, but she's getting better at sipping water all day long. I pretty much always have a sippy of water laying around, and she'll take a swig throughout the day.

We're still seeing seizures, but everyone seems to agree that her attention & "alertness" has increased since starting the diet. We have our 1st follow up appointment on Wednesday, and I'm anxious to hear what they have to say (along with what her labs look like).

We start the transition into the school district special education program in April. Lots of evaluations & developmental profiles to be completed, and I'm all sorts of nervous about it.

That's all from around here!

Not about Lily, per se...

(Quick Lily update -- Lily continues on the Keto Diet, at a 2:1 ratio. She's eating well, but doesn't want to drink anything. She continues to have seizures, but she does seem to be more alert, present & engaged which is very encouraging. We have quite a bit we can tweak with the diet to keep trying for seizure control, so we're still hopeful.)

I know this is a blog about Lily but we had a lovely afternoon today visiting my Granno to take pictures with all my cousins celebrating Granno's 80th birthday this year.

All of Granno's grandchildren recreated the photo we had taken for her at Christmas in 2000.

Here's the original from eight years ago:


And here we are today, with two great grandchildren:


And of course, the lady of honor (doesn't she look absolutely beautiful?):


My brother & I also got to spend a few minutes in Granno's new condo for the first time today. What a fantastic place! I could immediately feel how comfortable Granno was there, and it made me happy to know that she was in a place she felt happy. She has a lovely view of downtown, with a peek of water & mountains too.

It was a lovely day.
