Update

To all of you....Thank you for your faithful prayers and encouraging notes! We spent the majority of Thursday trying to connect with the many physicians that have been connected in this process. It was finally the afternoon of Thursday that we were able to get M into one of the docs to get her blood-work done. Still no answers, but no more lengthy seizures...

Thursday evening, M was in pain with her stomach burning and a very tight back. The night was very restless and early in the morning M was in extreme pain in her low back and stomach, bad enough that we put in a call to her doc to be seen ASAP.

After a brief description to the doc, it was determined to start fluids and keep an eye on M. Praise the Lord....the fluids worked. Blood-work determined that M was severely dehydrated and was very ketotic. What this meant is that while the diet has been effective in keeping M in ketosis (to treat the seizures) her ketone levels were too high and was most likely causing the issues we were seeing. While not definitively diagnosed, it is also thought that the low back pain is due to kidney stones.

By early Friday afternoon, she was better and has to focus on drinking plenty of fluids to flush out any kidney stones. While still not at a 100%, M is doing okay, but still feeling a little off. Hopefully, we can get a handle on things today as we put up Christmas decorations and can get M some much needed rest as she has had several restless nights and days!

We still do not know exactly why she had the lengthy seizure, but are glad that we have not experienced it again. Thank you for your prayers!
