I posted a few months back unsure of what is going on with my son. I really appreciated all the feedback I received and wanted to try again. Wy had sweat tests done early in March, but he didn't produce enough sweat. Lady at lab said, "he doesn't look like a CF kid". Immunologist also doesn't believe it is CF. I look at the pictures of all the beautiful children on this board and they don't look any different than my own children.
He was tested for allergies and only came back with a "marginal allergy" to dust mites. He did come back with a slight IgG deficiency. He was given a different type of pnemuococcal(sp?) vaccine, but the lab mistakenly did not do the test to see if his antibody levels had improved. Wyatt In the 8-9 weeks between visits he already had two antibiotics and OraPred (over a two week period). He was actually on Amoxicillin when a week or so into it he got worse and was given something else and the OraPred along with his Pulmicort and Albuterol, which we did for about 3-4 weeks. He has an appt with the immunologist in July and it was his hope that we wouldn't need any treatment in between. Well, last week he started coughing, ran a really low grade fever, and was so congested that he didn't sound like the same kid. I started his treatments, took him to the dr and the doctor gave him OraPred again. So he has had OraPred twice in the last month or so.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? I just don't understand what could be making him sick. If he doesn't have allergies then what could it be?
