I have noticed for some time now that Cade's breath smells like moth balls - one of my most unfavorite smells in the whole world. Any idea what would cause that? I really am not liking it.

Jenn - mommy to:
Kendall - my 17 yr old drama queen
Colton - my 7 year old little charmer
Cade - my 10 year old sweetie!!
Cade has Nystagmus, PVL, seizure disorder (seizure free for a long time now!), asthma, PDD-NOS, sensory processing disorder, apraxia, anxiety, immune deficient (IVIG every 4 weeks), growth hormone deficient, cortisol deficient, PLMD, migraines, G Tube dependent (Elecare), chronic constipation, unexplained stomach pain, reflux, unexplained leg pain, hypotonia. Takes lots of daily meds and has the best attitude about all of the stuff he deals with.
The chemical that gives mothballs their distinctive odor is called Naphthalene, but I have no idea why it (or that odor) would be coming from someone's mouth.... sorry! It can really bother some people. I actually think it smells very good... kind of weird, I know.
