Hopefully there is a way to keep Jack from getting more of these stones. I'm really sorry this is dragging on so.

But it so NOT awesome that you have to be doing this kind of research and that you and Jack have to be dealing with this crap - still! Love the keep calm and carry on. Although I might revise it to say keep calm and have a drink! <br /><br />Hang in there Friend.<br />xoxoChristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12158503749591171395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29916680.post-63822705756718632042012-06-07T22:01:42.353-07:002012-06-07T22:01:42.353-07:00Oh my!

This resulted in short bowel syndrome and my body is unable to absorb nutrients. I had lithotripsy and stents put in last week so I feel your and your son's pain. They are horrible. But enough about me, I am wondering if he could be a candidate for a medication that has really helped me the past year my new doctor prescribed, my first dr. whom is a renowned specialist said there was nothing that would help. It's called potassium citrate, it comes in both a pill or liquid (I take the liquid form, because the pill had very little effect on me). I don't know if it would help with the type of stones your son forms though...just an idea to maybe look in too. I wish you the best of luck with the stones.

But I'm stifling those and just hoping you find a sunset or caring friend or soothing bottle to find comfort in today. That is pretty amazing about the author/doctor. I never would have thought to try that route. You are amazing. Peace to you.ssouthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06621157647829439359noreply@blogger.com
