Anna had her 11th infusion today and did great! I takes only about an hour and 45 minutes now, and she usually crashes halfway through due to the Benadryl. Her next one will be next Wednesday.
First thing this morning, I received a call from the nurse practitioner at the immunologist's office. We had Anna's blood drawn Monday. Before starting infusions, Anna's strep-pneumo titers were pretty much non-existent. They want them to be above 1.8. Now they are in the 11-13 range. We just got the girls' labwork back and it looks awesome! Anna's last IGG before starting subQ was 500-ish. I know that the subQ can skew the labwork, but both girls were in a trough (meaning they were due for their next infusion, so it is closer to seeing how they are doing on it than if we did it immediately fol...lowing an infusion). Anyway, hers this week was 1300+!! Anna has not been sick since she started in May, so her dose is clearly correct!
We are so thankful to have such a great team working with us to keep the kids healthy. We appreciate all of the prayers and support.
