Enzymes
We received a big box of enzymes a few weeks ago, and the reality of the pill consumption around here kinda hit us. We got 6 honkin’ sized bottles (2500 pills), which will only last him for 3 months. He’s not even 2 years old yet. It’s a lot of pills, but gosh we are so thankful for these blue and red pills. We wouldn’t have our little Asher today if not for these pills. His pancreas functions at less than 1%, which means its pretty much just sitting there being a sluggard! Enzymes help him digest food by replacing digestive enzymes that are normally released by the pancreas, and help him to absorb fats and proteins in food. We didn’t have these pills for the first month of Asher’s life, and it was absolutely horrible for him…and us. So, every day we are so thankful for these little pills called enzymes.

Oh boy do we hear you on that one!!! Praise God for those little blue and red capsules. It’s amazing how those little pills can work such magic…and it’s amazing how fast you can tell if the enzyme dosage is off! Eeek. Go Enzymes!
I am thankful for the pills too. Asher is a trooper. Thanks for explaining what the pills help doing for Asher. It’s good to know how this is helping Asher.
That is a lot of pills but we are so glad that they are there to help the Ashman. He is a trooper. Give him a big squeeze for us.
Lots of pills,with GREAT rewards!Keep-up the great work!!HUGS&KISSES
Talk about a dose of reality. The videos and pictures you post of Asher undergoing his vest treatments are very affecting, but 28 pills a day! I had no idea. What a brave little guy, and a brave family.
Praising God with you for those blue & red pills. . .and how they’ve helped grow those big, rollie thighs! Yay for Asher & yay for medical innovation!
