This morning Lucy was admitted to Children's Hospital so she could get started on the Ketogenic Diet for her seizures. We spent our whole week here and it'd just be easier to put the weeks pictures in one post.
Day 1 - Tuesday 6/14: Today was a really draining day. Lucy had a lot of tests done to check her systems. Here she is napping in between.
Day 2 - Wednesday 6/15: Today started off rough. Lucy's not able to eat anything. She gets "keto-kool-aid" and "Ketocal" during the day. She's supposed to drink the Ketocal because it's got all the stuff she'll need for this diet in it but she hates it. It smells awful and must taste bad too. She's been staying hydrated by drinking the kool-aid but she's pretty miserable not being able to eat. Gigi and Papi came to visit us today and Lucy was in better spirits after their visit.
Day 3 - Thursday 6/16: Today Lucy has been really tired and miserable. Grandma came to visit and spent the whole day with us. Lucy was able to eat something today and we were shocked at how little she gets each meal. It's going to be a hard adjustment.
Day 4 - Friday 6/17: Today was another rough day. We thought Lucy was doing well and that they'd be sending us home but today she was extremely tired and slept most of the day. We addressed it with the Neurology team who took another blood draw to test her levels. Nana and Pap came to visit in the evening and we were told we'd be spending another night.
Day 5 - Saturday 6/18: Today we were told that Lucy's levels were back up enough that they were going to send us home. Here's Lucy and I snoozing while we waited for the news.
