Donovans levels

[Guest guest]

gggrr.

I hate it when I think I did something but cant find it!! I thought I

had posted Donovans Feb Ig levels on this board, but I cant find it,

and I cant find my copy here at home either and Im irritated.

I DID find his levels from last yr this time, when he was 5.5 yrs, and

they were:

IgG-468 with range of 592-1723

IgA-64 with range of 33-235

IgM-90 with range of 36-314

I wanted to compare those, the ones in Feb 06, and the ones from last

week, which are:

IgA-24 (same ranges)

IgM-28

IgG-516

so I can see that his IgG is slightly up from last yr this time, but

his IgA and IgM are quite a bit lower, and it seems like in Feb, his

IgG was right around 500 and his IgA and IgM were just barely beneath

the low range, so I *think* those are lower. BUT, he is 6.5 yrs old

now, and about 10 lbs bigger since last yr, and has had this STUPID

SINUS INFECTION since the beginning of school--thru bactrim, thru 3

rounds of zithro, thru another 3 weeks of bactrim, two weeks on

prophylaxis dose bactrim(qd vs bid), and tomorrow will be starting

Cipro x 3 weeks. I did reach his pulmo tonight, and she said she didnt

think that his IgG level would warrant IVIG(which is why we restested

last week, he has just been sick for months), but I have not yet

spoken with his ID dr(their office closes earlier) but I had called

her regarding his worsening sinus symptoms to see about the abx and so

I asked her about what she thought about those levels while I had her

on the phone. Also, last Feb, clinically, he was much better, and

hadnt been sick in a while, while since Aug this yr, its been one

thing after another with him.

So I guess I am just thinking as I type here:) sorry for that---I

WANTED to talk to ID guy tonight and come up with a game plan and I

hate waiting. I also HATE the sound of my son constantly sniffling,

which I realize is quite a minor offense, but its been going on so

long its just grating my nerves to no end at this very moment.

I REALLY hope ID guy calls tomorrow...........I dont know if I can

wait another day to find out if we will have 3 on IVIG. Then again, IF

I do find out we'll have 3 on IVIG, I'll probably go nuts thinking

about that!!LOL cant win with this obsessive brain:)
