Owen’s Surgery

October 20, 2015 Lisa

Back in June, I posted about Owen's surgery. We ended up rescheduling it, waiting until the hot summer was over. It was supposed to be last month, but the day before surgery he ended up getting pretty badly burned on our wood stove. With open wounds, surgery was rescheduled … [Read more...]

A New Method of Owen Management 

August 12, 2015 Lisa

MAD Diet

June 2, 2015 Lisa

Today was day two of the Modified Atkins Diet for Owen. I must say that his hand tremor has ceased, and he only had a handful of seizures today. An incredibly quick response, which reminds me of when we started the Keto diet back in 2012. Pros? Lots more food! We have target … [Read more...]
