Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Name: General Location: Iowa Pid Pumpkin: Caelan Age: 6 1/2 Diagnosis: IgG def, subclass def, antigen proliferation defect, pneumo antibody def. How long diagnosed: March 2001 On treatment: don't know right now. We've been doign antibiotics,just went through new testing. He's been off IVIG for a few years Additional Health Concerns: asthma, severe food allergies, EE, GERD Caelan has been doing really well the past few years with hardly any illness and staying at home mostly. Due to his food allergies the preschools wouldn't take him. He started KG this year and everything went to heck. We are awaiting a new round of full testing (prelim was low IgG, high IgM) and will formulate a plan based on that. We have pulled him out of KG until the severe illnesses pass.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 >Name - Karin Hart General Location- Perkasie, Pa. Pid Pumkin - Hart Age - 14 (15 on the first of May) Diagnosis- IGA immune Def., Asthma How long diagnosed?- Since he was 15 months old. On treatment- As far as we know there is none. Antibiotics for bacterial infections. Fluids when he gets dehydrated etc. I am a lurker. Not that I want to be it just that life has thrown me and my family some bumps in the road. My computer blew so I can only get on once in a while from work. My oldest daughter has also been diagnosed Bi-polar, and depressed. This can really make things diffucult. The highs and lows this kid goes through is incrediable!! Now shes into heavy drugs and things are getting worse. Add a PId to the mix with all these virsus and such going around and life can get next to impossible sometimes. Only by the grace of God am I still here. So please excuse the lurking. I will try to stay in touch more often now that I have a parttime job and a computer to use. If there is anyone in my general area, please let me know. Thanks.
