I read something about orbital steroid injections treatments for graves disease. That may be an alternative to surgery..

You are right on target! My son doesn’t look all that sick but he’s a mess internally. There are days when even I question how sick he is….and then I remember that he doesn’t need to look sick to be sick (that’s when the guilt begins). He couldn’t sleep again last night and spent most of the night vomitting, but he still went to school. He’s been missing more school lately and he’s afraid his teachers are going to all expect him to get his make-up work done asap. I was able to e-mail all of his teachers and educate them a little on Grave’s Disease and how truly sick my son is. Luckily, they’re all being pretty good about helping him get caught up.
Unfortunately, my son has so much trouble with his stomach that having something like a "pizza party" isn’t a good idea for him because it makes him so sick. He does love hanging out with his friends though. We’ve bought him all kind of gaming equipment to keep him entertained. I wish we could do pizza…it’s a lot cheaper ” title=”Smile” />
I’m still hoping that he’ll feel better once they get his meds right. It’s so unfair that he has to go through this because he’s really a good kid with bad luck. I wish there were some kind of organization that could give him something nice because he really deserves it.
Thanks for listening!
