I looked up the symptoms and unfortunately it does look like your son just might have it. It's genetic (you must have done the research, right?) Has anyone in your family ever had this condition?

I feel for you. It is treatable and you MUST watch his future diet. Get as much information as you can about MSUD.

I wish you well. Try and stay strong.
