Get the Heck Out

Just a quick note for today. I will write more about today...tomorrow. Everything is fine its just been a hectic day.

Abigail went so smoothly, medically, onto the diet that they kicked us out of the hospital!! Well they didn't kick us out but they said we could go home. I am writing this from my own kitchen table and not propped on the sleeper couch in her hospital room. Dr. Olson and his team were very impressed with how well Abigail went into ketosis and is handling the diet. She is still cranky and a bit lethargic from her low blood sugar levels, but over all she is accepting the diet very nicely. They felt there was no need to keep her in the hospital any longer. Every child is different when going onto this diet which is why they feel its best to hospitalize at the start of the diet. She is still asking for her favorite foods like chips and cookies but we have plans to do some interesting things with pork rinds to replace the chips.
