When the doctor came in this morning she wanted to run one more set of labs and then she expected we could leave about 4pm.
However, the doctor came back in after the labs! The ketone test came back really good, moving up from 1.3 to 3.7 (4+ is ideal and also when they start to watch for seizure improvementl). That is really good news considering the issue it has been to get him into ketosis. However, the test also revealed that his blood acid levels went up quickly too and his doctor is not comfortable sending him home today. She is going to give him a buffer which reduce the acidity but she wants to watch him overnight again. Maybe tomorrow...!
It is not a dangerous situation at all, but it could erase all the work that has already been done if they don't keep an eye on it.. That is why they start the diet in the hospital!
