Tomorrow
We find out the results of Weston's bloodwork tomorrow. We are pretty anxious about this and are hoping Weston can get off of the antibiotic he's been taking for a year. To be more specific he has hypogammaglobuinenima (pretty sure I butchered that spelling!). His body does not make enough of the IgG antibody to fight off infection. As his immunologist put it Weston doesn't have enough army men to fight the battle. But considering all of this Weston has been very healthy this year. So this disorder has not been near as bad as it could be. We are thinking this second year is going to be great for Weston. Thanks to many months of feeding therapy and Vital Stim his swallow problem is gone, he can drink anything and eats all the time! So if we can get his immune problem cured or fixed he is going to be as good as new. I'll update tomorrow with the news. It's pretty amazing to think of what this kid has been through and how he has overcome so much of it. He is overall such a happy and vivacious little kid and such a joy to us!
