Sick again

Ryley's health is really puzzling us at the moment.
This is part of the reason why I jumped at the chance to see his neuro team earlier than I am meant to be.
I am assuming that his increase in seizures and constant vomiting has something to do with the Ketogenic Diet, but then again, I am not entirely convinced that is all it is.
I think I know in my heart of hearts that we are probably going to have to come off the KD and see what happens. He has been on it now for nearly two years and I think either we make some adjustments to the diet itself (like increase the ratio) or we start thinking about alternatives.

He is actually in bed asleep at the moment. He vomited at school so I went and got him. He is ok, but I just knew he needed sleep. I just wish I knew why he was vomiting all the time. Maybe his reflux meds need to be increased again. I don't think it is that though.

Sometimes it is hard not to look at Ryley and just see his health issues. Mainly because I can't figure them out. And that is driving me crazy. I want to make things better for him. I should be able to. But I can't.
Sigh.

So at least we see his team of specialists in a few weeks. We are having a holiday at the hospital. We get to stay overnight and all. Woot.
