Zachary is the only known documented child case with Superficial Siderosis and was diagnosed at the age of 9. We've created this blog in hopes of finding more information, and those who suffer with this disorder so that we can further educate ourselves, our son and others.

The Cramping Continues
Z slept when his stomach wasn't cramping. He was able to keep the lemon water down but still had cramping. At one point he was cramping so bad that he stated hyperventilating causing his hands to stiffen up then ..... his leg started to hurt and spasm. He was screaming out in pain, it was very scary. I was, after a long time, back in that seat. You know the one, the one where mom has no power, you know the horrible helpless feeling of a panicked mother? Yup! That's the one. I contacted Dr. Brown to update him on Z and to see if he had any other suggestions. He said to go ahead and bring him in for his adjustment and we would go from there. He suggested ginger root tea, and to continue the lemon water. Z's adjustment didn't get him to a zero today and he was insistent we stay 'til it did, lol. Poor kid! Momma's gotta buckle down and get the diet in order or his healing isn't going to happen as quickly as we'd like. The transition is HUGE!! And they need to be made quickly ... I really don't think this gradual thing is going to work for Z. :(
