Guest guest Posted January 20, 2000 Report Share Posted January 20, 2000 Hello, I recently joined, My name is and I have an 11 yr. old with CVID. I would like to ask for your prayers. was admitted to the hospital today 1-20-99, because he has been real sick with GI problems, he has lost 17lbs in less than 7 weeks. He has a severe sinus infection, and lung infection. He has been in and out of the hospital every other month since Aug. with pneumonia. We are not iure if he has pneumonia now.He recieved his sandogoblins (IVIG) today so I hope give him a boost. The doctors are going to try and get his lungs under control and his infections and on Monday he is going to bring in a consult GI doctor to scope him and see whats going on. Do any of you or your children with pid have problems with your stomach? If so what was wrong and did you lose a lot of weight. was diagnosed in May 99, and we only had sinus and pneumonia's never stomach trouble. Also, I might mention that is a severe steroid dependent asthmatic. I am beginning to wonder how much prednisone plays a role in all of this. I know we can't do without it because if we stop it he can't breath. Please if anyone falls under this please let me know how you survived it. This CVID is litterly killing my son. Has anyone seen on the Web site about a research program involving CVID and a Dr. Buckley at Duke? If so please let me know where that web site is, I thought I found it one day and now I can't find it. I thank each and every one of you for you prayers!!! God Bless!

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2000 Report Share Posted January 21, 2000 Dear : I have an almost 11 year old daughter that is cvid and asthmatic, she has experienced H-pylori infection and C-dificil which is the over growth of bad bacteria because of an over use of antibiotics. H-Pylori cannot be determined unless they do a gastroscopy because with the blood test it is reading the donor's blood results not the patients especially if they are recieving IVIG. I will keep you and your son in our prayers and wish him a swift recovery. I think two of the mothers here their children are treated at Duke University. They should be able to help you with that. My daughter until this last year did not have any problem except with her asthma and respiratory infections like strep or pneumonia. GI problems often run along with cvid from what we have learned.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2000 Report Share Posted January 21, 2000 : I'm so sorry about your son. I have not had any experiences with GI problems with my son, , but I do know the frustation that you can experience when the doctors won't or can't give you a definate diagnoses or reason as to why this is happening. I will keep you and your son in my thoughts and prayers. Hopefully some answers will be found soon. --mom to -dysgammaglobulinemia; ALL-in remission Son in hospital. > > > Hello, I recently joined, My name is and I have an 11 yr. old with CVID. > I would like to ask for your prayers. was admitted to the hospital today > 1-20-99, because he has been real sick with GI problems, he has lost 17lbs in less than 7 weeks.
