New Memeber.....Jazz Little

[5JLittle]

:sign0085:Hi my name is Jennifer and my middle son Jazz who will be 4yrs old on the 25th of this month (July) was diagnoised with crohn's 1 week ago. I have been reading as many books and posts as I can find to help us with as much information as possible but nothing helps as much as talking with someone else going through the same thing. Jazz is currently taking Pentasa and Zantac twice a day and it seems to be helping some. He still has days of loose stool, no more bloody diarrhea but the problem we are dealing with is he still has random days of severe joint pain. Today he woke up crying and is unable to move his legs without them hurting. He also is having pain in one elbow. This pain comes and goes, some days are great others are horrible. Any suggestions??? Thank you!:sign0085:

Hi Jennifer and welcome! I am so sorry to hear about your little guy. But that is great news that he has responded to treatment already. I hope he continues to improve.

There are many parents like you on forum. I bet they can provide some advice to help Jazz. Check out the Parents of Kids with IBD sub-forum. Once again, welcome!
