Much needed update
Posted by Amy Ohler on Friday, May 4, 2012
So it's been awhile since I updated Mason's website. Pippi had to go back to 4 Paws for some additional training she will be coming home within the next couple of weeks!
Mason and Olivia were recently diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder called Glut 1 Deficiency Disorder, and we believe this is the cause of their seizures because it can cause Epilepsy. Olivia's seizures seem to be worse than Mason's he is doing really well. His doctor wants to see him go back to school next year so I think we are going to give it another try. He is very excited.
They both are going to have 24 hour EEG's within the next couple of weeks to see what their seizure activity looks like now. We tried the modified atkins diet for awhile but it didn't work for us, so we are going to maybe try some different medications.
Well I think that is about it for now, will post again soon.
