older kids

[Guest guest]

My son will be eleven next month. He was diaginosed with when he

was 4 1/2. He would get really sick every two weeks: high fevers,

headache, stomach & body aches, very swollen tonsils. We were lucky it

only lasted a year. He was fine for about two years. Then the last two

years he got the same symptons only milder and just a couple of times a

year. Last month he was sick for about five days and now he's starting

again. After reading about it coming back in some older kids I really

wonder if it ever goes away. I know someone asked if anyones has gone

away and I didn't see anyone write back. Of course, they could not be

with the group any longer. Even when my son's went away I continued to

be part of the group. I always wanted to know if somehow a cure came

out or a reason for it.

Now that he's older if it's coming back I wonder how he will cope in

school with much harder work. When he was younger he was put on

predsione, but I'm trying to just get by with Moltrin now.

I know it's not what parents want to hear that it comes back. It's

certaintly not what anyone wants. The only good thing is it seems

milder, hopefully it will stay that way.
