OMG, answers?!

So it’s official…we finally have some answers on Abigail, and what’s been going on with her. We’re still a little unsure, and there’s a few more tests to be run. But I think we finally have a diagnoses. It seems that Abigail’s problems with her IgA levels is just that - an IgA defiency. After all the testing for various things, it turns out after rounds of blood work, that’s all it is.

It’s somewhat of a relief, knowing that it isn’t something more serious. I mean, we still have to watch her and all, but she’ll be a normal child and have a normal life. She may even out grow her deficiency. But at least until then, we’ll have to watch her a bit, as she more susceptible to bacterial infections (ear, sinus, pneumonia), but overall it’s not such a bad thing.

I feel like a huge weight was lifted, finally getting answers. Now all we have to do, is do one more round of blood work, and maybe give her some more boosters. That’s the one downside to IgA deficient children - they sometimes require a second round of certain vaccines to ensure that they are covered and protected by it. As much as I hate to stick her with another needle, I keep telling myself it could be much worse.

Overall though, I’m happy to finally have this over with (for the most part), and be able to move on
