Seizure Response Dog

Ketogenic Hospital Stay
The hospital stay went pretty smooth despite a rocky beginning. Alex went into ketosis almost immediately which was good but the sudden increase in ketones made him acidic. The acidosis made him very nauseous and he vomited allot the first 2 days. The nausea is normal and is now under control. Beth was trained on the diet and Beth being Beth has mastered the diet and is concocting unique recipes for Alex.

We cannot thank all the nurses and doctors enough for all the care they gave Alex while he was in the hospital. Below are some pictures of Alex's hospital stay.
