My boys

I am a mom to 5. In 2008, my oldest son complained of a stomach ache for a few days. I figured he had the flu or a bug. Then his eyes turned yellow and just like that, we were thrust into a nightmare. Two weeks in the hospital to figure out what was the matter. He was 10. He was so sick and retaining fluid and needed a new liver. A little less than two months later, he got one. He is doing well. Of the rest of the kids, my other son was also diagnosed at age 7. He is doing well after chelation and now a daily regimen of Galzin.
