Hi Vikki,

 

Thanks for the information and encouragement.  Please send my encouragement to your son. I know how hard college can be when your health is not cooperating.  I'm glad to be moving on the next phase of life but will never forget the struggles and tears, but also the sense of accomplishment at the end.

 

I am from Columbus Ohio.  I see an outstanding endocrinologist at The Ohio State University Medical Center.  She picked up my care when I switched from my peds endo.  She is a young teaching doctor so she is more on top of things than my last endo.

 

Do the doctors know why your son has cataracts?  I'm curious becuase I developed cataracts at age 5 due to calcium deficiency from undiagnosed HPTH.  At least the promising thing is that cataract surgery has come a long way and doctors can now remove the cataract and lens if needed and also do an artificial lens implant. 

 

Keep in touch as well.  Let me know if I can offer any information
