Day one has been joyfully uneventfull. Ben's 24 hour fast was not much of a problem, and he ate the egg and oil milkshake around dinner time without too much fuss -- though with "assistance" from Meg. Classes start tomorrow morning. I'm sure Meg will do fine, but I expect to struggle a bit. I'll be the one saying "explain that to me as if I'm a computer geek." :-)
The conversations with the staff have gone really well. It appears they are all very accessible via phone and email, which will come in handy over the next few months.
There is some thought that Ben's epilepsy is Myoclonic-Astatic Epilepsy, or "Droose syndrome" (http://www.doosesyndrome.com/index.html), but that's a preliminary thought. One of the other patients is a 3.5 year old boy with Droose, and there are many similarities. The good news is that this type of epilepsy responds well to the Ketogenic diet. More on that as we learn more.
That's all from me. Till next time, Shalom
