My Noah was on the ketogenic diet for 2.5 years and it was our miracle. He is 8 now and has been seizure-free almost 5 years now. I can hardly believe it. He's been off the diet almost 3 years and is doing great. I still have the play-doh birthday cake we made for him, saved in a Tupperware container- as a matter of fact I was just looking at it yesterday thinking about how far we've come. He blew out his candle in that cake and then we served keto Popsicles and his special cream as ice cream with flavorings and food coloring. He is doing wonderfully- I hope the same for your Noah!

Thanks so much for sharing your story. Have you read Steph's blog, by chance? It's called "Adventures in Babywearing" and she has four young children - three boys and a baby girl. One of her boys was also diagnosed with epilepsy (at age two). Ironically, his name is Noah too. You can check out her hopeful and inspiring story here: http://www.adventuresinbabywearing.com/2006/05/full-story.html. Hi Cathy! Thanks so much for sharing your story.

I was unaware that such a thing existed. My eight year old son takes Trileptol to control his seizures and we were told that he would have to be medicated for the rest of his life. I'm definitely going to read your blog and research this further. Thank you for sharing the information about your son’s special diet. I was unaware that such a thing existed.

I was diagnosed with epilepsy at 15 and having supportive, proactive parents made such a difference in the course of my treatments. I only had 3 seizures in ten years. I am a 31 year old mother to 2 healthy girls and feel so blessed. Stay strong...what you are doing for Noah is wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

I had no idea you two were related -- I've been following both your blogs for quite a while. Makes and Takes is such a great source of projects for my 3.5 year old keto kid. Blessings to you both.
