SSS Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 Ahhhhh! Don't freak. You are doing everything you can- got the sibling on antibx right away- your DS is still on treatment antibiotics- I think you are going to be just fine! Hang in there, sending PV's!
peglem Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 What I'm hoping for you is that the IVIG shut down production of your son's own antibodies, or slowed it enough that he will not be making any of those wanky antibodies in response to this.
JAG10 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 AHHH!!! My dd7 brought home strep mid-Aug, dd11 was at 12 week mark, so not much donor IG left at that point. She had about an 8 day backslide before recovering with treatment dose abx. She then experienced a series of exposures in the fall that stalled her progress, but she was always able to return to that 75% improved mark. After that, I had dd7 scheduled for a T & A (which we were planning on anyway) by the 2nd week of Sept. DD7 shows mild PANDAS signs, so it was just as much for her as Big sis. I'm sure you emailed doc...what did he say??? jill

EAMom Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 My theory is that it is better this happens 10 days post IVIG, vs. 10 weeks post IVIG. Your son still has a lot of active IVIG anti-bodies in his system. Be sure to make sure sister clears (recheck culture in 2 and 4 weeks) and also check other household members to make sure they don't become positive.
