My 10 year old grandson was just diagnosed after a month and a half of doc visits, symptoms and not knowing what was wrong. The doctor said he could have a regular diet, yet I am seeing TONS of information on food and diet and the different meds, side effects, etc. We have bought some of the items mentioned, but he was such a fussy eater to begin with. Right now he is on steroids to combat the inflammation and increase appetite I am told and then he will be getting a maintenance med through an IV every eight weeks. I am calm on the outside, but totally confused and scared to death for him on the inside. Where do I start with all this? Of course it all is his mom's decisions, but I want to do anything I Can to help, especially since I take care of him a lot.
