Kindergarten

Our son started kindergarten a few months ago and is eating it up. Well, recently, he's been drinking it up as he just finished a week-long round of nothing but EleCare. When he had his first round of EleCare in kindergarten in October, it had been about 3 months since he'd had to do a full week. We were a little nervous for him for a variety of our own reasons. He gave us an additional thing to worry about by all-of-a-sudden becoming self-conscious about what the other kids might say about his "smoothie drink"! It didn't take him long to get over that...

Crohn's symptoms have been minimal. We had a GI appointment in September and everything was perfectly normal. No meds, just a little EleCare every day and a full-time week-long round every 6-8 weeks. With the success he has had, our health insurance company agreed to cover 80% of the costs. This has been such a blessing for us!

Thanks for reading...
