Well today marks my son being on azathioprine for exactly 1 year! Where did that year go? I never thought I'd get used to giving him what initially seemed like such a dangerous drug but I have. Do I wish he didn't have to take it? YOU BET. But it no longer seems so bad.

If I compare the kid in front of me today with the kid I had a year ago it is amazing. His weight is back up, he can go to school for the whole day, he can go play with his friends, he is skiing up a storm, he is no longer living on the toilet, etc., etc. Thank you azathioprine! :ybiggrin:

Fabulous! Thanks for the reminder of why we choose these seemingly horrible (at the time at least) drugs is so they can get to that point. Hope out lasts forever!

What a great post!!! I so glad he's doing well!!!

And, WOW, it's been a year!?!? It did fly by... I remember when he was just starting out with EEN and actually finding some fun with the whole NG tube experience! (Hope I'm not mistaking him with someone else!!! :eek:)

Great to hear!! :D
