We started off a bit inauspiciously with the daily fight over taking medications, and a face-smashing-into-the-floor drop seizure just as I was getting the helmet ready, but things have improved from there.
- Fewer seizures
- Good ketones
- A snack that went smoothly for once. (Hurray! I love this new recipe, and you would, too. Whipping cream with unsweetened Baker’s chocolate and coconut oil melted into a “hot chocolate”, sweetened with stevia, and with raspberries on the side.)
- Ordered a case of KetoCal (had to get a consent form from the dietician and she responded first thing this morning).
- Ordered a bunch of special food flavourings from Bickford, who make their products for bakers and candy-makers, but they know all about the ketogenic diet; I couldn’t order online because their website is set up for U.S. only, but the woman on the phone was fabulous. Phew, no having to send stuff to an American friend to ship on to us!
- My friend Janet (a different one who doesn’t blog) sent me a message on Facebook that she’s flying into Whitehorse from Saskatoon tonight and asked if I needed anything. I asked her if she could find liquid Stevia and liquid Sugar Twin and she’s picking up both at their local Wal-Mart!
- Nugget is still safe and sound in utero, but his/her head is waaaaay down and fully engaged and s/he could arrive any time now! (We hit 38 weeks on Friday.)
- And best of all… my Mom is arriving at 1:30 this afternoon! I really need my Mom right now and I’m SO excited that she’s just a couple of hours away. YAY!
UPDATED TO ADD: And lunch went well, too! She didn’t want to eat her last bit of salami (chewed it up and then spat it out) but by bribing her with the allowed raspberries, she finally ate everything up. We’re living one meal at a time…
