Good Orthopaedic News

This morning Bertrand got some great orthopaedic news! His two hours of stander time every day has paid off big time. His hips, knees and feet now look great! Dr. Woiczik recommended as much time in the stander as he'll tolerate (over 2 hours would be even better). She wants to see Bertrand back in another 7 months to take more x-rays and see if orthodics may work better for him then, but for now she thinks he is building great strength and flexibility on his own!

And now, because I couldn't resist, here is another graph for Bertrand's one-month ketogenic diet check-up later this afternoon. :)

A picture is worth a thousand words

This graph is one of several included in the report I am presenting to Bertrand's Keto Team at his one month check-up tomorrow. I think it pretty much says it all! The diet is working slowly but surely for Bertrand. :) On a daily basis it is so hard to see the forest for the trees, but a graph like this sure does help!

NOTE: These numbers start from a week into the diet when these seizure types became infrequent enough to count! Before starting the diet, both kinds of seizures were in the 100s. We are still not counting Bertrand's absence type seizures.
