Since we saw Dr H last Broc has been on a dose of antibiotics for the sinus infection he had. He is also running these low grade fevers which spike over 100.8F around 4-4:30pm everyday.During the rest of the day he is really crabby.He just says he doesn't feel good.Last Friday we started him on baby asprin twice a day and would you believe it no fevers.He did say that if he were to get a really bad virus with a high fever then the asprin would not help him.So we will be able to tell if he is getting really ill. He said that the low grade fevers mean that he has inflammation in his body somewhere.We have been told that so many times.Dr H likes to call Broc an interesting yet complicated little boy.
We thought that all the blood work came back normal but I guess he had some more to add when he saw him today.He said that the pneumo and strep antibody numbers were not normal. His numbers have to be above 1 and all those numbers are 0.something.Broc will be having another pneumo vax shot next week and then will have his blood drawn in a month to see if he made any antibodies to that shot.His WBC is also on the low end as well as neutrophil count.As a result we started the testing for cyclic neutropenia today.That will last a month.
Broc has another sinus infection so he started antibiotics again today.We will see Dr H at the beginning of Dec and he will order a CT of his sinuses to see what they look like.
We are able to give him the flu shot once he has had the pneumo antibody blood test.
As we near the beginning of cold and flu season we still have to be careful in public places.
Thank you all for your support and prayers for our family.
