CRASH!

Asher's good energy wave has come to an end. In fact, Asher is now sicker than he has been in a long time. He's completely crashed.

Asher was riding such a good wave for such a long time that we got used to it. In a way, I think we started taking it for granted that he was feeling so good. It started feeling normal to us. This low he is in right now is the polar opposite of the high he's been riding. I haven't seen him this sick since we trialed beef.

Asher has spent most of the week-end on the couch. He's complaining of a head-ache, tummy ache, full body ache, and whatever else he can complain about. It hurts to eat. He has no energy and spends every possible moment sleeping. Thank G-d for elemental formula, which lets him drink his nutrition. The elemental formula will get him through this bad spell.

Now we have to figure out the cause. That's the fun part. Let's figure out what seemingly innocuous thing is destroying my kid. Of course we have to figure it out quickly, to help get Asher out of the state he's in. Ugh.

Oh man! I knew the energy crash was pretty close to inevitable with the antibiotics he's on, but was really hoping the aches and pains would subside as the MRSA is destroyed. MRSA is very aggressive and hard to kill off. Is it possible his strain is fighting against this particular antibiotic, or perhaps Asher is actually allergic to something in the meds or even the probiotics you've been using to combat the antibiotics?? Just a thought, that I've sure you've already considered a thousand times over! :) Hope the little man is feeling better soon. I hate to hear he's in so much pain. No kid should have to go through as much as he's endured!
