Guest guest Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Wanted to give a little update. My 4 yo had his 1st ivig on dec 1. He was sick that day (no suprise there, he had a new or continuing infection every 2 weeks all of 2011). Within days of the infusion he was better no antibiotics needed. He didnt get sick for the whole month even though we went on vacation and 2 disney. He was starting to get sick right before the second infusion but is well now (thank you ivig!) No reactions for the 1st infusion some reactions @hospital the 2nd time. Super high heart rate, itchie throat and wheezing. They went twice as fast though and i think that was the prob. The wheezing wasnt as bad as it seems because he's a wheezer anyway and has been flaring. No other side effects later at home though! Anyway, when one of the moms said to get ready our lives were about to change she was not kidding! Ivig is the very best thing that has happened to us in forever. It's crazy to see him well, playing, eating, you know being a kid! He even gained weight! Thanks for all your help and support since this started. We still have somethings to figure out, but I'm not panicked about the immediate future anymore! This was the!1st January of his 4 yo life he wasn't in the hospital with pneumonia!
