Update on Zachery's condition:
Update on Zachery's condition:
Zachery has had crohns and ulcerated colitis for about 8 years now. He has been on constant medication most of those years but this past year I chose to take him off the meds because his body wasn't getting any better. I changed his diet and put him on baby food. He did get better until we started introducing other foods to him. It has been a long year trying to find what he could and could not eat but come to find out.....
4 years ago I asked them to do some test to find out if he was allergic to wheat and milk products and they said the test come out negative, but when we hired a nutritionist, she was going through all his paper work and found that the test was actually positive. This whole time we were killing him when we thought we were helping him.
Praise God for this nutritionist who found this! The doctors said that if things wouldn't have changed he would have died in two months of starvation. He is down to 87lbs and is close to 5' 7" tall at the young age of 16. He is a walking skeleton..just skin and bones.
He has been so depressed because of all the pain that he wanted to just give up.
Being a week on this new diet (gluten free) has made him a happier guy. He isn't by any means better but he sure is on the road to a quick recovery.
They don't have him on any medications that they did before which is good. He is on iron, B12, hehe gummy bear vits. and pentasa. That is all he needs the nutritionist said.
Just goes to show that doctors don't know it all. Good to get an opinion from every
direction.
Thanks for the prayers and the ear.

This was an exciting weekend. My (little) brother called me saying he was coming to Gillette to watch the bull riding at the fair and wanted to visit. It had been a LONG time since we seen each other. We spent Sat. and Sun. together and had a blast. We met his wife Sarah also and she is a sweety. The girls took to them like there were old buddies. Went to the rodeo and discing. We had a ton of fun. Thanks guys! (hugs)
