Lauren continues to have a tough time. She had 2 more grandmals in the night at 2 and 5am. Plus she is still having drop during the day. I had a good conversation with Lauren's doctor and dietitian this afternoon. We went over her recent history of her seizures and tried to find any pattern and what would be the best adjustment for her diet. They pretty much left it up to me because they said my guess is as good as theirs! So we increased her calories by 100 but redistributed them to 200 in the morning and 333 for lunch and dinner and a meal before bed. We will just have to try this out for 10 or so days and see what it does. I am trying to remain sane during all of these up and downs but I think I am going crazy! We really are doing okay it is just so hard when there are no straight answers.

We are so sorry that it is crazy for you. Espcially when it has been going up and down like a rollercoaster. That's frustrating. It is sad to see this happening to her. We are always praying for Lauren, you and your family. Hang in there. Hopefully one day you will have the answer after all this. We love you.
Yes, it must be making you a little crazy to have to make all these decisions. On the other hand, I have never really gotten a long with really "sane" people. I love you tons, crazy or not, you always have and I have faith that you always will make correct decisions. You have very good "gut" feelings; just listen to them. They don't always seem "sane"or to make a lot of sense at the time, but usually turn out to be correct 99% of the time! Hope you had a good day with Nathan. Love, MOM
I'm sorry you're going through such a rough patch. I wish there was something I could do to help. Know we're still praying for Lauren and your family everyday! It must feel like you are going crazy, but I would guess you're perfectly normal for what you're going through. Keep up the good works! We love you guys! kim
