To Simon - How did this child fare? Re: constantly sick - any ideas

[Guest guest]

Hi Simon, I have been looking through old posts regarding immune dysfunction and

found this post regarding your friends' child and his constant illnesses.

rings a bell with my own boy who was always sick when he was young, thought he

was going to die at one point, hospitalised and lethargic.

Are you still in contact with your friends who have this little boy and if so,

can you tell us how he is, what they did?

many thanks
