Hi Andy,
Lil A finally seems to have recovered from the viral parasite. We have yet to do an ultrasound to confirm that the inflammation in the glands has has decreased, but I feel that it must be much better. During the infection, which lasted 3 months his glands were swollen and his intestines were very swollen causing him to be in a lot of pain and feeling bloated all of the time. Exjade certainly didn't help the situation, so we gave him a week long break twice during this time. For the first 6 weeks we also held the vitamin supplements.
I am now resuming his supplements, and he has requested that I try to find at least some of his vitamins in liquid form. I have found vitamin Bcomplex and vitamin D in liquid form. (I wonder if this may be a good idea for all young ones who feel sick after swallowing large pills).

Sharmin,
Both look very good. I will also note that I just received my first bottle of liquid vitamin D in the mail yesterday, so I will also be trying this form. It is easy to take and does reduce the amount of pills needed daily. The brand I got is virtually tasteless.

Thanks Andy:)

Thanks Manal,
It was a rough period of time for us, doctors were uncertain of the cause and we had some scares while they were trying to diagnose the issue. I didn't find much time to post, and perhaps I was too scared to post too much during the time. Andy helped us sort through everything and supported us until lil A recovered. I am so glad that he is better now!
Thanks again my friend,
Sharmin
