silly question, maybe??

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone! I have a question, and, again, I may be jumping the gun

here, as we still don't have Annie's results yet. She had her blood

drawn on Wednesday, and I am not so patiently waiting to see if she made

antibodies to the prevnar vaccine his time.

But my question: The kids pulmo is listed under " pediatric allergy and

immunology. " So, does that mean he an immunologist also?? There is no

pediatric immunology section alone, but there are pediatric infectious

disease doctors. I hate to sound stupid, but I just do not know. We

have been seeing this doctor for 11 years because of my oldest son's

asthma, and my other 2 have since been dx with asthma. He is a pulmo,

but I don't know about the immunologist part. My 14yo does have an

appt. with him Monday, so I have lots of questions anyway. I will just

have to add yet another, unless anyone thinks I shouldn't.

Any insight?? Thank you for your help and patience!

Thank you, ! I appreciate you answering this for me.

I do remember that , Conner's mom, said that they had been to

the Cleveland Clinic. My oldest sees an endocrinologist there, and

it's only about an hour away, so that's certainly feasible if that's

where we are headed .... I don't remember his name though, and do

not remember seeing any ped. immuno's on our ins. list online ....

There were some infectious deisease doctors at the Clinic on our

ins., though, so, so, so....

Thanks again!
