That's basically how the immunologist summed up Noah's immune system today which is very good news! Most of his numbers have come up, but there are still some significant "holes" in his immune system. The doctor was very happy to hear our news about Noah having had a 6 week stretch with no illness. Although he had 2 bugs right on top of each other a couple weeks ago, it seems that we are establishing a new pattern and that's exactly what they want to see. He feels very confident, now, that this IS something Noah will outgrow by the time he's school age. THAT was fantastic news. If for some reason, his infections become more frequent again, then we will have to consider a couple other treatment options. Otherwise, we don't have to go back until November! That would be wonderful.
In the mean time, the doctor said I can relax my germophob, neurotic ways "a little", but still no church or other daycare settings for him. That was disappointing, but we are committed to doing whatever is best for our little guy. For now, we are hoping and praying that his infections will continue to get further and further apart (or should that be farther??) and that we really won't have to go back to the immunologist until November!
