Weston's test results
We found out good news on Weston's immune system. His IgG antibody level is starting to rise and hopefully will be in the normal range in a few more months! The last time we had his bloodwork done was in June of '05 and the levels were 380 this time March '06 the levels were 480. Up 100 points! Normal range is between 500-1000. Of course we were hoping for over 500 but at least he is showing improvement. The Doctor classified this as transient meaning he will outgrow this disorder! We were worried last time this might be a common variable case meaning he would not outgrow it and more drastic measures would have to be taken. We will keep Weston on antibiotics until the end of May and then see how he does without them. Dr. Van Wagoner said it would be okay to start him in Mother's Day Out in the Fall and "see how he can fly without being on antibiotics." We will have his bloodwork done again in August to see where his IgG levels are at that point. This is definitely about faith and we know that the Lord has a perfect plan for Weston. The Doctor said we should feel very blessed and we certainly do! When I think of how sick Weston could be and think about the fact that he has never been hospitalized I am SO thankful. Also Weston has never shown any side effects to taking an antibiotic everyday. Currently Weston is still on prevacid, nasonex, and amoxil or zithromax everyday. We got to take him off of Flovent and soon the antibiotics. He's getting better everyday!
