Waiting for Ketones

Baybeblue is having a good day today suprisingly even though they hav been starving her since last night at midnight. We have to get her body into a state where it starts producing ketones. Ones that happens then we can start the diet formula. So far she has been in a great mood and is not on any pain meds, not even tylenol. So I get to put a cotton ball in her diaper and when she pees I squeeze it on a stick that changes color. Im tryin to get the tan color to turn to maroon and that means she is throwing ketones. As of 5pm it was a little pink, its the third color up starting with the blue in the picture and again we are trying to get it to maroon. When the body gets to the state of starving and is producing ketones to survive then the diet will start and mimic the starving state keeping ketones flowing. For whatever reasons this stops seizures and is called the ketogenic diet. Wish us luck and say a prayer , this is one of our last options for helping her.
