Guest guest Posted May 23, 1999 Report Share Posted May 23, 1999 about the getting worse with other children since we are not sure that the rest suffer from IgA def. but highly suspect this is kind of going off a hunch, but if Brad and Ben do also suffer from it then yes they are worse than Jake. More pneumonia's and they both suffer far worse asthma. I think of all the kids though Brad is the worse and he is the 3rd and he is the one intially tested for PID but he got sick the day after we got the blood work so it didn't come out correct. That was even after waiting for a couple of months to get him healthy to take the stupid test, can't win!
