Mr. Levi has once again taken a huge jump on the scale this week. Last Monday he weighed in at 19.8 pounds, and yesterday was a surprising 20.4 pounds! Needless to say, his daily calories have been cut slightly from 660 a day to 630. We are hoping to see the seizures start lessening more with this new diet tweak.
We have begun using a sippy cup with great success! He only will take the bottle with ketogenic formula and absolutely refuses to take anything else from it, so we were left with using a syringe to get small amounts of water down him, and not coming anywhere close to meeting his daily fluid needs. Thankfully we found sippy cups that we can hold to his mouth and squeeze slightly and all he has to do is swallow, which he does very well, even with the thinner fluids like water. What a relief!
He is still doing great on the ketogenic diet and we are looking forward to even better results as time goes on!
