Hi everybody,
I am new forum member and this is my first post. I am desperately looking for your help and any advice you could give me.
Six months ago in a tragic car accident I have lost my wife and our little baby girl suffered severe brain damage( difusse axonal injury III) and due to injury she developed epilepsy. She is having from 3 to 10 seizures per day and her medicine is Levetiracetam 2ml two times daily. Unforunately medicine is working so next week we have termin doctor to change it.
Till now I have bought many books, read so many on internet but still most of things that people recomend I am scared to give her because she is just 1 year old. I am cooking fruits and vegetables and meat and trying to feed her as good as possible. Because of occipital lobe injury doctors are not sure if she can see what makes feeding her quite difficult. One of the advice was to give her high dose of fish oil and she was on that high dose for maybe 2 months till I discoved Ray Peat forum. The biggest problem is that most of the suplements and alternative medicine therapies to mention so small children which makes my battle very difficult. It is not a problem to find infants RDA for example magnesium but which one? Malate, theornate ,citrate etc. Some of the suplements that are really good when your brain is damaged are not good to use if you have seizures( example Acety L Carnitine). Beacause she is baby her brain is still developing and thing that are good for adults may be very harmfull for her. She needs fats, sugars, cholesterol etc.
I am really sad and desperated because I have only her and would do everything I can to help her to recover as good as possible.
Dear forum members I am begging you to join this topic and if you have any advice would be much appriciated.
Sorry for my english.
Many thanks in advance!!!
Vladimir
