DAMN!! Just when we thought Ronan was getting better......

......another massive flare up today!!!

The poor boy is going through hell.

First....the side-effects of the steroid therapy - aching bones and back.

Next.....iron injections, extremely painful as the iron spreads around.

And now massive diarrhoea coupled with copious traces of blood!!

When the hell will this nightmare end for this poor family?

In sheer desperation - JJ

JJ, I'm sorry to hear that about Ronin. This is really sad news. My heart goes out to you and your family. I hope they can figure out something to help the poor kid soon. This has got to be an amazing amount of stress and strain on your family.

You all are ALWAYS in my prayers...He will get there, JJ...it takes time and a lot of trial and error...unfortunately with a lot more errors...but when the doctors finally find the correct balance of medication and diet...he will be comfortable again...Im so sorry, JJ....The iron injections must mean he is anaemic...ugh...poor guy. they ARE painful...stay strong, JJ...Ronan will get through this..

I truly feel bad for Ronan. No one should have to suffer like this. I hope he recovers one hundred percent JJ and try to stay positive.
