Good Morning Everyone,
At the present moment here in Brackley its dry but cloudy , expecting rain.
Today , will see my usual trip by bus to Bicester ,and then return for the Tour De France on TV .
Yesterdays Bargain hunt as mentioned was from Brackley Antiques Cellar , looked recent as only the owners , contestants ,and others were in the building , normally its known locally if they filming in there , as the like to have a few people wondering about .
But under the circumstances , it was probably the ideal place to make a programme .
Take Care,
Mick

Jaxjacky The ketogenic diet can be adapted for vegetarians, vegans and children with special dietary needs, but it needs to be supervised by a dietitian. One of my little nephews developed intractable infantile epilepsy as a baby and the Keto plan has worked wonders for him. He’s 8 now, at a mainstream school and doing pretty well.

There is a very helpful charity, The Daisy Garland, their website has useful info. Of course, she may not need anything other than a mild medication to keep it under control, but here’s a link to their website.

Dwmxwg I’ll look at at, Imogen is vegetarian so not sure if it’s feasible, DD and Imogen’s brother aren’t x

Jaxjacky Tue 06-Jul-21 19:34:50

I’m humbled and grateful to you all. Xx

Dwmxwg Tue 06-Jul-21 18:38:06

Just catching up with your news Jax
We too have epilepsy in our family. The medication has its place of course but am hoping there will be advise given on the ketogenic diet which has shown huge benefits to many children with epilepsy.
Sending my regards to you and your family at this difficult time of change and acceptance

What a shock for you all Jax, but as others have said it is not the disease it used to be with lots of new treatments. Of course you will all grieve and it will take some getting used to, my prayers for you all.

So sorry to hear the news about Imogen Jax such a shock for you all. I am sure modern medicine will control it. My daughters friend had it in her teens but grew out of it.

Maya1 Tue 06-Jul-21 17:23:07

Sorry to hear of Imogen' s diagnosis. I was diagnosed with epilepsy at 18 and am now 63.
LauraNorder is quite correct that both knowledge and medication has come on leaps and bounds. There are very few side effects from my medication and my fits are completely under control.
Feel free to pm me if you would like to Jaxjacky.

Sorry to hear of Imogen's diagnosis, Jaxjacky, such a shock for your dear daughter and all the family.

She's in the best place to be monitored and have a treatment plan put in place.

Sending love and prayers for Imogen and all your family. ???

LauraNorder Tue 06-Jul-21 14:08:11

You must all be upset and in shock at the unexpected diagnosis Jax. I’m sure today’s superior medical knowledge and medication will mean things are not nearly as bad as they seem right now.
Take care ?

So sorry to hear the news about Imogen, Jaxjacky.
A shock for you all but I am sure that, being in hospital, means the paediatricians will quickly help with a way forward to help the family to cope.
Thoughts and prayers for you all.

Grandmabatty Tue 06-Jul-21 12:58:56

Poor Imogen. Jax. My son has epilepsy so I sympathise. His seizures can be brought on by lack of sleep or dehydration. I hope Imogen gets suitable medication soon ?

annsixty Tue 06-Jul-21 12:27:43

Imogen of course.

annsixty Tue 06-Jul-21 12:27:09

What a shock for you all.
I assume this has nothing to do with the scald.
I send my sincerest good wishes for a suitable treatment plan for I morgen.
Poor soul.flowers

Jaxjacky Tue 06-Jul-21 12:23:51

Imogen has epilepsy, my daughter is distraught, probably in shock. It’s a lot to take in for us all.

Good late morning from The Algarve. It was completely overcast and grey earlier although I could see it was clear over the coast but it is clearing here now and the sun shining through.

JaxJacky thinking of little Imogen hopefully feeling a bit better and all of you waiting for news.

I’m hoping Grandmafrench ‘s ears are holding up to the challenge too and that the rheumatologist gives you positive news.

Blossoming Tue 06-Jul-21 11:44:46

Good news that the chemo can go ahead hari, you and your husband have had an awful time lately. flowers

Blossoming Tue 06-Jul-21 11:30:47

Well the washing machine is on, but it looks like more rain is on the way. Take care Marydoll I know how frustrating keeping off your feet is but you really don’t need any further aches and pains. Glad there’s better news about Imogen jax, hope your husband’s foot is soon better sar. Will catch up on the rest of the posts now.

Good morning, Mick and everyone from a brightish Carlisle. It was raining when I got up so I was pleased I'd managed to mow the lawn yesterday. I also got my satellite dish installed, not by a spry young man but by a spry gent of definite pension age! Tomorrow comes my new TV, an all singing and dancing model that I hope my brains will be able to operate.
I idly watched delivery men unwrapping a new sofa destined for my new neighbours. I betted it would turn out to be grey and it was. I can't understand the current fashion for grey decor...too much like the usual weather. I like to be cheered up by colour around me, though this time I have gone for neutral basics (not grey!) with splashes of colour though I do sometimes miss my previous orange carpet.
The best possible day to you all and wishing you only good news about your Imogen, Jaxjacky.
