We are wishing sweet Emily all the luck in the world as she ends her ketogenic journey after nearly three years. Emily's lovely mum, Sarah, tells us more here...

"As for the ending of the diet...it's a mixture of worry, anxiety, relief, uncertainty, and feelings of pride! I am proud of Emily for sticking at it for nearly three years when there have been so many temptations. Children offering her sweets and Emily actually saying 'no thank you, I'm on a special diet' . Relief from all the tension it's caused at family meals times, all the times I've comforted her when she just wanted the party food or to be like the other kids and the hours of preparation involved. It's also very expensive to find nice alternatives, e.g. at Easter or Advent, or to find a wrap or some keto friendly, nice tasting chocolate. I'm so worried and anxious about what will happen next on Emily's journey and what will happen with her seizures, but I am so proud that we've had seizure free periods. Emily has said all the way along that she misses Domino's pizza the most!! We've made so many keto friendly pizzas, but none of them cut it. I'm personally hoping her taste will gave changed and she won't like it, and we were trying to wait a few weeks until we get her one but her little wish list and stash of sweets and little chocolates she has been given along the way and carefully saved has kept her going when it's been tricky. Would I change our keto journey - never! I've logged every meal and ketone for the last three years. It's still feels so unnatural not to weigh everything and provide extra fat! It's been lonely weaning, too, but we made it. The whole family made it, and it's made the world of difference to Emily's epilepsy journey xx".
