Katie, I have an 8 year old boy with uncontrollable seizures - 4 meds and he still has seizures everyday. We tried the keto diet, helped some but caused other problems. He is no longer on the diet. All I can tell you is to love him and treat him like any other child. He is going to have seizures but don't let that stop your life and his life. Send him to school, take him on trips, go out to dinner. I promise you that type of therapy helps. You will see!
Best wishes and God bless.
