Guest guest Posted June 29, 2002 Report Share Posted June 29, 2002 When there is an illness or infection present, the body automatically raises the blood sugar..... regardless of the fact that you haven't changed anything in her diet. This provokes an insulin response which could have something to do with seizures. Any time a kid is running a fever or battling an illness your seizure control can go out the window.... but don't despair! It will not always be that way! I would recommend doing the chicken soup meal...... look in the files..... to have a meal that is " all in one " .... the same ratio in every bite, and plenty of fluid. I don't know what to recommend about the kidney stones...... can anyone on the list address the use of Polycitra for stones? Was that a treatment for them, or a preventative measure? take care, Patti, mom to Katera I am lost I am totally and coplictly lost.We had a seizure or something like seizure today and two days before today....... Ketones are high enough, I didn't change anything of the diet....she couldnt cheat,she is too small for it, calories are ok, fluids are limited(I didn't increase it , yet)...but she have that bloody stone and she is sick , 8 days with high temperature.Could it be because she is sick? Is she going to be ok afther this temperature? or is it the stone ? Everything was fine and ,now, ..... Dr Freeman says that you can always restart diet and that you have to cure your child , to be healthy again and than continue with the diet.I am so miserablle.....

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2002 Report Share Posted June 29, 2002 Hmmm..... I am re-reading your post..... 8 days of a high temp seems like too much! Could she have a kidney infection due to the stone? She may need to see a doctor about the illness. That seems like too many days to be an ordinary virus..... maybe?

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2002 Report Share Posted June 29, 2002 Lija, YES, cure your child then worry about the diet. 8 days with a fever is too long and she is bound to have seizures. GIVE HER FLUIDS!!! It's a must. You need to contact a doctor as she may need medical attention. Do you have an emergency room at a hospital you can go to? I am worried that she's been sick for that long and you are not consulting a physician but relying on this list to fix things. You need to seek medical attention for her right away if at all possible or at least contact one by phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 29, 2002 Report Share Posted June 29, 2002 I think the fever can go along with the stone. You gotta research kidney stones (Barb M. do you still have the address for that great site?) and find a nephrologist lijaforever wrote: > I am totally and coplictly lost.We had a seizure or something like > seizure today and two days before today....... > Ketones are high enough, I didn't change anything of the diet....she > couldnt cheat,she is too small for it, calories are ok, fluids are > limited(I didn't increase it , yet)...but she have that bloody stone > and she is sick , 8 days with high temperature.Could it be because > she is sick?

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2002 Report Share Posted June 29, 2002 Lija, 8 days of fever is not normal. A fever that goes for more than 3-4 days indicates a bacterial infection and usually needs an antibiotic. Also, a high fever will dehydrate a person very quickly, esp. a child. The younger the child the quicker a fever will dehydrate. And, dehydration (not enough water in the body) can in itself cause a fever. I strongly urge you to seek more medical help today and to begin to give your child lots of water. Stones do not cause high fevers.
