Surprise Appointment News

So, something weird happened today...something that generally doesn't happen...  Ethan dropped a specialty!  We had recently picked another couple up and both sounded like they planned to keep him on longer, but today his Immunologist said his blood counts again show a bit low on the fighting viruses part but that it isn't low enough to explain why he gets sick so often.  She thinks it is attributable to other things going on for him.  She will do up her letter stating that if he catches specific viruses then she will get involved again.  But from her point of view he does not have an immune issue.  (We're still no further ahead on how to keep him healthier.)  The good news from the appointment is that he does build antibodies and does it well with the vaccines, etc he's had...so she thinks it stands to reason that he should be able to build antibodies to viruses unless they have mutated.

  1. Yay!! Good news! I would love to drop some specialists instead of picking more and more up. ;)
