Back Home!

All the doctors were very impressed with Jetty on Wednesday when he showed them that he could breathe just fine without the help of the ventilator. I don't think anyone expected him to come around that fast! With Jetty breathing well on his own and the ammonia blood levels coming down to almost normal they decided on Thursday he no longer needed to be in ICU and was moved to a regular floor. This made Mommy and Daddy very happy and even happier yesterday when they said he could go home. However....the fact that two of Jetty's seizures medicines have been taken away and the ketogenic diet being temporarily on hold, has caused his seizures to be worse and pretty much constant. For the next few days Jetty is to be given Ativan (the medicine that makes him sleep) around the clock to keep his seizures under control while the ketogenic diet is restarted and has time to take effect. So for now, Jetty will sleep and catch up on some much needed rest and hope that when we stop the ativan the diet will work again.
