My name is Caroline McCahey and my son, Jack, is 5 years old and is following the Ketogenic Diet. He had his first seizure at 6 months old. He has failed so many medications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He had genetic testing done 3 times before finally showing he has the SCN1A and SCN9A gene deletions. Jack has Dravet Syndrome and over the years it\u2019s been very challenging. Every time he had a seizure we would have to call 911, he would have breathing difficulties and has had many hospital admissions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is one of my favorite pictures of us. Jack was able to be outside without having a seizure and walk around the beautiful tulips. It\u2019s extremely rare for him to be outside in the warmer months walking around without having a seizure. Due to the SCN1A gene deletion he can\u2019t regulate his  body temperature. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the keto diet was mentioned. I wish we started the diet years ago. Jack has been on the ketogenic diet since September 2019. We have noticed his seizures have been shorter and less severe (knock on wood). He isn\u2019t seizure free but I know it has helped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some recipes that I have got from KetoVie’s blog<\/a> and from The Keto Cookbook that Jack loves and that I wanted to share with you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kwik Mix Graham Crackers<\/strong> 4:1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The picture below is one of Jack\u2019s favorite snacks. I tweaked the recipe a little. This recipe makes 8 crackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
