We fattened him up, and gave him iron supplements, but after his course of treatment, he was still iron deficient. He is taking regular children's vitamins with iron and that is working, but I wonder if there is some common thread here with our little Haitian boys.<br />Oh well. I'm happy to hear your boys are thriving.Candishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15048710772876835877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2266259241920095158.post-2346027367001996762010-06-24T14:31:05.831-04:002010-06-24T14:31:05.831-04:00I can't wait to see them for myself!
