You Say No, And I Say Yes…to IVIG

You Say No, And I Say Yes…to IVIG

 This time three weeks ago, I was sitting in an Embassy Suites  up in Chicago. My son Jesse had just received a third IVIG over the course of two days.

Call Me

  In less than half an hour now, I have a phone call with our PANDAS Specialist to try to figure out how to help my son out of his current PANDAS Flare. My husband will be home any minute/ I should be prepping for that call...instead I'm writing a blog. That tends to be how I get things done these days. Whenever I have something to do, I just do something else. If only … [Read more...]

Got Strep? Yep!!!

Got Strep? Yep!!! OMG! My PANDAS son has strep...again! Ahhhhhh!!! The sky is falling. Maybe. Maybe not. I dunno yet.

Many times they would also run a throat … [Read more...]

5 Year PANDAS-versary

Exactly five years ago today, November 18, 2010, my son, Jesse, received his first IVIG (Intravenous Immunoglobulin) to treat his PANDAS. Facebook reminded me of this 5 Year PANDAS-versary early this morning, but my brain already knew. I've had an uneasy feeling these past few days. Restless. Worried. A certain sadness. It must be the memories of this time of my life knocking … [Read more...]
