Fine tuning


Recently we raised up the ratio of Caleb's ketogenic diet to 3:1. We are still in the fine tuning stage to find the right ratio, calorie intake and so on.
Since the 'miracle day' right after the diet started, it was only lately that we saw him doing as well. Sometimes it can be a pain-stakingly slow process, it takes lots of patience to go through this fine tuning stage.

Caleb's Ketone levels have been constantly below the target level, and we are hoping the changes that have been made would solve the problem.


But, most important thing is Caleb has been steadily developing since the diet started. I don't keep track of what monthly milestones supposed to be any more. What matters is Caleb is developing at his own pace, and I believe he will develop to his full potential eventually.


With all these going on, we also visited Andy's dad and grandma in Louisiana....With 7 months old Keto baby tagged along. Crazy, eh? You know what was even crazier? We had to change to 3 different planes each way. I know... But it was altogether a fun, new experience to be down south for the first time. Especially, I loved the food down there. Umm, Umm, Umm...Cajun food, yummy! Except for one occasion when I spotted "frog legs" on a restaurant menu. I can't even look at frogs, so seeing it as an ingredient of a dish? I doublechecked the unidentified food item in my plate, just in case. (it was hush puppies, by the way)


Caleb's first plane ride- he slept most of the time...you missed out, son!



Grandma's old house porch....so, this is where Andy's porch obsession was born. He always comments on a porch whenever he sees one. "hey, look at that porch!", "Big porch!", "Oh, nice porch!".....FYI, we don't have a porch. There aren't too many houses with real porches to begin with, in Calgary. If they do, they are not like ones in down south. They are usually tiny. And we don't have any plan to move anytime soon, so for the time being, his comments on porches will still be covetous-nature kind.
