At first we could only treat him with prescription liquid Naperson. Now that he is 13 he voices when he he is having trouble and pain better then when he was a baby so they are able to treat him with other meds and they seem to help him be comfortable. Its sad to see a kid not able to pick up a fork or pencle because his fingers are so swollen they look like a Ball Park Frank cooked up!

You are lucky that allot of research has been done and their is allot of options in treatments out their. It sucks when one is young and has to face living the rest of your life with some illness
That poor baby :-(

I'm sorry that had to happen to your son.
