It's begun

Yesterday the nutritionist called to see if I had any questions. She told me to go ahead and start low carbing it with Naomi. No sugary drinks, no starch, she can have some veggies, but no corn, potatoes, peas, no fruit. She said it's easier to tell me what to go ahead and give her.

We also went over the Sunday lunch and supper menu at the hospital so we would have everything picked out. She's having chicken breast,broccoli and carrots, and string cheese for lunch and for dinner roast turkey with green beans, tossed salad and sugar free jello. Because she's never had soda they don't want to start giving her the diet soda if at all possible so I'm just going to take some Free and Clear carbonated water from Walmart that Naomi loves. They'll start fasting her at midnight on Sunday and when her ketones are up they will slowly start giving her the Ketogenic eggnog shake to see how she tolerates it and if all goes well then start introducing the real meals. At least the electrodes from the EEG should be off by Monday afternoon so we can take her to the play room and to see the fish tank to keep her occupied.
