Our boy is bouncing, although this is not his worst bounce ever. I wonder if feeding him 12% rather than HC had some effect on the bounce. I just hope he doesn't go all low tomorrow, because I can't come home to test.

I'm pretty sure I have bronchitis. There's no point in going to the doctor, though, because there's not a thing they can do for a virus.

Yeah looks like our bouncing baby boy is doing his thing again!...but at least he didn't bounce as high and he's working his way down again!

Hopefully he'll continue to get more and more used to being in better numbers and his pancreas and liver will settle down some. It took awhile for China, but eventually she started bouncing lower and clearing them faster, so I'm sure it'll happen for Mikey!

You're right there's nothing they can do for a virus, but usually if something's progressed to bronchitis, there's a bacterial element to it too. Don't let it go too long without getting checked out!

Feel better soon!

he's sure having some ugly mornings, isn't he?!

Have you thought anymore about trying Lev for Mikey? I think it's one of those situations where there would be nothing to lose and perhaps something to gain. I wish we had a better plan for him.

Is this illness a little gift from your students? Working around kids is sure to give you things you don't want. I hope you feel better soon. If you're open to supplements, my naturopath suggests NAC to help when you get sick and it seems like it's really helped me. It stands for N-Acetyl Cysteine and I just found this review for it that specifically mentions bronchitis: http://health.cvs.com/GetContent.aspx?token=f75979d3-9c7c-4b16-af56-3e122a3f19e3&chunkiid=21807

N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a specially modified form of the dietary amino acid cysteine. When taken orally, NAC is thought to help the body make the important antioxidant enzyme glutathione. It has shown promise for a number of conditions, especially chronic bronchitis.​

When you buy supplements, because they aren't regulated, it does matter what brands you use. I buy the PURE brand (you can get them at any compounding pharmacy) or a brand that is well-established or connected with a research lab: Thorne, Integrative Therapeutics, or Metabolic Maintenace are some reliable ones that I've used. Here's a page with a lot of choices from PureFormulas.
