Guest guest Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Max had her first IVIG infusion yesterday. Better to say we tried. In the beginning the flow rate is very very slow ( first 15 minutes). This is to make sure the kids tolerate the medication. As soon as they turned up the flow rate, Max had a reaction. The infusion ws stopped. Benadryl and hydrocortison were administered thru the IV, saline, and 2 1/2 hours later she was stable enough for us to go home. As anyone experienced that? We are scheduled to try again in 10 days time. This time they plan to use slow flow the entire time. thanks, rosy, mom to max, 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
