Mothers really do know best! ❤️ When Alexis noticed something was off with her daughter Ava, she trusted her instincts and took immediate action. Her quick thinking brought Ava to Children's Health, where she was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition causing seizures at just 11 months old. Thanks to expert care from our team, Ava’s seizures stopped just days after starting a keto diet.

Looking back, Alexis is glad she listened to her gut in the face of so much anxiety, self-doubt and several experts telling her Ava was fine. And she was grateful to find a team of experts who could provide a fast diagnosis and hold her hand as she learned the ins and outs of managing a ketogenic diet.
