Haleigh's immunologist called today and told us she got her blood results back. She said that Haleigh has low readings in her Complement system. Her results came back at .2 where as the normal results are around 100. She said this is the reason Haleigh gets sick so often and so seriously. She is going to get us an appointment with her in August when we see Genetics.
We are told the treatment is going to be antibiotics to try to keep things at bay. I am not sure how this will work because I assume her body will get adjusted to antibiotics and they will no longer work. I am sure she will explain more at her appt.
But for now we will take it as news. If we can keep her from getting so sick so often, then i see it as a step in the right direction.

Noah gets very sick very fast too. I never had him tested though maybe they tested him before we got him. We went to Whole Foods and ask them what to take and they gave s some great natural vitamins. I ran out and there is no whole foods here but vitamins and chiropractic care seemed to work best with my whole family to keep them from getting sick. I agree with what you said I think antibiotics would become useless after awhile bc her body would become immune to them. Good luck with everything. Will genetics have any idea of what is going on with Haleigh? We too see genetics in Aug. Praying for your family.
