Subject: Thanksgiving/Update on Bri

Hi Everyone,

I remember reading posts on this list about kiddos being admitted on

Thanksgiving Day. I was thinking how happy I was that Bri has managed to

avoid that. Until last week. He had jaw/cheek swelling Wed. night and I knew

he needed to be seen that night--the swelling happened quickly. They did a

CT and it looked like there was an infection in the Paratoid gland. The next

morning, we were to go back and get more abx through his IV but his cheek

had tripled in size and he was in a lot of pain. So, he was admitted to the

Children's hospital.

It is still unclear if he had an infection or the Mumps. His Ped and I both

think it was an infection. But because mumps are a possibility, he has to be

out of school for nine days. They tested his Ig for Mumps which came back

positive, but of course, they were just testing the Ig replacement...not

necessarily Bri.

Here we sit at home...on quarantine. At least it was only a few nights!! My

heart goes out to all of you who often experience holidays in the hospital.

Sandi, Mom to , CVID
