Quick Update

After a rough start, Oliver appears to be eating better and taking fluids better. He has had 2 seizures since the diet initiation but both were very mild and ended on their own within minutes. This is hopefully a good sign that the diet is helping to decrease the intensity of his seizures.

He is cooing a TON and starting to smile and laugh a little more on the good days. We are still adjusting to the rigorous weighing and measuring involved with the diet but we've had a lot of help from Grandma Eunice the past 2 weeks and it's made a world of difference.

Oliver had a hematology appt yesterday and is graduating from their clinic! his neutropenia appears to have resolved itself and he is no longer anemic. Finally some good news! we'll continue to monitor his blood over the coming months to make sure this is a permanent change.
