Just read your bit on the mealtimes thread and thought I'd talk to you separately. You might have read my threads and know my story but if not:
My son Charlie was born 12th Sept and diagnosed very quickly with the very rare condition Hyperinsulinism. He was transferred to GOSH (Rainforest ward) when 10 days old and was eventually discharged last Friday 17th December. He has had a number of scans and surgeries and the orginal condition should now be cured. However his reflux and eating is badly affected so we may need to be referred to the Gastro team.
I know a bit about PKU. Firstly I am a Biology teacher and it is on the A-Level syllabus and secondly through GOSH. In fact Charlie got a lovely star balloon from the PKU Christmas party.
I hope you and your family are managing to deal with the condition and that your son has none/few of some of the associated side effects.
