Ben in action

Unfortunately, the ketogenic diet does not seem to be working for Ben. He continues to have 2-3 seizures a week. We still have about two weeks to go before the doctors feel like we have given it a fair shot. So we're still hoping for a miracle.

In the meantime, he is continuing to improve with his movements. He is sitting up much better and is frustrated when he can't move. That's a great sign - it means that he's motivated to move! Here is a series of images that shows him sitting, then falling over, then getting his hands out all by himself. We were so happy for him! It's the beginning of moving around independently and we can't wait to see what he does next!!
