Guest guest Posted May 25, 1999 Report Share Posted May 25, 1999 Hmmm, well he was on predisone for the pneumonia around the time and it is an oral steroid. I'll have to ask the doctor about it when he goes in for the skin test. He was really ill back to back around the time, three pneumonias from early December to mid January and then a sinus infection and then we thought he was healthy only for him to get sick the day after the blood draw. They told me he would need to be well for the test. Have to ask about it. He has had so many pneumonia's and septicemia, its hard to beleive he would not be affected. just one of those days > > >Sue G - sorry to hear it was a crappy day at the peds.
