Ale - worse?

[Guest guest]

As some of you may remember, my son Ale, soon 16, who has an

osteoporosis imperfecta recently went through a great operation and he

left the hospital after just a few days.

 

We felt lots of support from people on the list, and I am sure all

those thoughts and intentions and prayers were makeing a huge

difference.

 

Ale has for the last two-three days had a fever around 40 celcius (a

little bit above what normaly is a good temperature for infections. He

has no pain in the leg, and no changes visibly in the scar tissue. He

is just hot and tired. Sometimes a little headache.

 

His puls is rapid and tense, but the toungue is pale and dry, cracked

in the middle. Urin dark. Not hungry at all. (He has had a stry of LI

not working after operation, even with an acute ambulance condition but

at this point I doubt it is that. He has defecated, at least some)

palpations on abdomen indicates LI and ST excess. He had a spontaneous

sweating today while sleeping. He sweated a lot.

 

Nothing I do seems to help, (It sure is hard to treat your own kids)

and maybe he has to go through this, whatever it is. I know I have not

used all I got, but at the moment I am reluctant to do so. I feel

blind, maybe for the love and compassion I feel for him.

 

Is there anyone out there who has a hunch what to do or what to look

for, based on this scarce information?

 

Love and blindness

Hi Holger!

 

Well, this is not TCM but - if there is infection vitamin C may help the

immune system combat it. If his bowels have been sluggish vitamin C will

help that as well. I usually recommend that people take the time-release,

as much as they can handle when they are sick, around 6000 mg when well. If

not time-release it will just go through too fast and take everything else

along as well.
