On Monday Quinn will be admitted to the hospital to start the Ketogenic diet. I am doing my best to not worry and stress about this diet but realty is setting in. I honestly have no clue how I am going to be able to handle him crying for food an me making sure he doesn't get any food he shouldn't. For the past 3.5 years when ever he has asked for a snack he has pretty much gotten a snack. He has never had to go hungry in the past an I don't know how we are going to manage this. Also not sure how I am going to get his meds into him once he is on the diet. He can't have juice or sugar so everything I have used in the past to try and get his meds down I won't be able to use. He can have his meds in oil or mayo... so I already know this isn't going to go well. He threw up all his meds 3 times tonight....so that was just over $20 he threw up tonight ...sigh.... This gets pricey when he does this all the time with his medication.
The girls left for Alberta with my sister yesterday, it was so hard to send them off again. This trip away was hard since they are missing so much. They are going to miss soccer, their soccer tournament, field day at school, Brooke's 1st day of kindergarten.
SO to deal with all my stress what does Rachel do......? Go buy paint and take on a huge project because ya know how I have nothing to do in my life and its sooooo boring.. haha NOT. Last night I started painting Quinn's current bedroom, since we are going to be moving him to my craft/work room because that room is right across from our bedroom. I hate the colour of Quinn's walls plus they were really beat up from him living in his bedroom. The colour I choose was cheer which is a nice yellow to make me happy. Today when I was painting I turned my back an Quinn grabbed the paint brush and dunked it into the full can of paint and splattered my walls an floors... sigh.... painting with a 3 year old boy in the room is insanity. I think I yelled my voice away all day today ! But I did manage to get 2 coats on and now just have to finish cutting along the baseboards on the ground. I offered to paint Quinn's room he is moving into, but the poor boy says he wants pink and won't change his mind. SO... I will let him think about it for a few more months ;) Plus the bedroom is already a light purple and has bright pink curtains.
This morning I went into the city quick to grab a few things for our hospital trip next week. Had to get some goodies from the $ store to keep Quinn busy for his 24 hours EEG in the hospital on Monday !
Tomorrow afternoon we meet with the allergist, so hopefully we can get some testing done on Quinn to see if he has some allergies we don't know about !
