Bloodwork

So the immune level we have been waiting on came back. Children's ran this lab and was to send the info to Duke. Please read the email I got from Dr. Markert's head nurse, who is also a good friend, today below:

Dear Sarah,

I spoke with Dr. Rao this morning about Caleb's labs. The IgG level was reported at 444, which is low but there was a disclaimer that they had "insufficient sample to properly run the test so the result may not be valid. " So basically, it doesn't really tell us anything. However, I had frozen away some serum from the blood sent to us so I will have them run an IgG on it here and we'll see what we get. I think they run the test on Mon Wed Fri so I may have some results by the middle of next week. So sorry, I know the waiting is killing you but I want to make sure we have a valid result before we act on it either way.

So...here we are...I did some research and the normal range that I found was 620-1400. I pray that the result from Children's is wrong and that his IgG (major antibody found in the blood that fights infection) level is not really that low.

I will post the Duke IgG level as soon as we get it!

God Bless you all!!

God Bless Caleb!!

Oh Sades, I know this is so tough. I am so sorry it is so hard to get competent people to complete what seems to be some of the simplest tasks and I know how much you are hoping for positive results. We are all praying for you (and with you I know) all. God Bless!! Miss you! Love you!
