Question about immune testing results

[Guest guest]

HI, I'm Valarie,and I have three kids with PID. I just wanted to share

with you that when we first found something " off " with my sons immune

systems, they were 8 months and 2 yrs old. The one that was 8 months

old is now 4 yrs old, and his numbers have in fact gone down every

time his IgG was tested, since he was 8 months. He is now on IVIG. My

6 yr old, who was 2 when first tested, has changed from an IgG def, to

CVID, with low IgA and IgM. So, even though they were quite young when

we first started to test, for them, it has continued all this time, so

it is entirely possible your child has a PID. We started out just

doing prophylactic antibiotics through the winters, then yr round, and

now I have my youngest son and my 8 yr old daughter on IVIG--if my 6yr

olds IgG dips again, he will be doing it too. So, I guess that is just

my two cents.
