Jackson's Wellness update

Just thought I would give everyone a wellness update on Jackson.  Jackson had sinus surgery about six weeks ago.  He had been sick since September with everything one can catch from preschool.  The surgery went very well, except for the nose washes we have to do.  All three of us will now need counseling to get over the ordeal. :)  Soon after the surgery, Jackson developed a little cough that would not leave and more green mucus.  Our ENT, Dr. Coffey, called in an antibiotic for ten days. After a few days, I took him to the Dr. Miller and she said he was having asthma problems too.  She put him on a steroid, added another antibiotic and daily breathing treatments again.  Add that to:  Singulair, Clarinex, Syimbcort and Miralax.  As you can see, meds are a big part of our life.  We are happy to announce that Jackson will be starting a new IG treatment in August after out Disney trip.  He will have a 2 hour weekly infusion at home. This should help his levels to stay up and keep him healthy for Kindergarten!!!  Each week brings new highs and new lows, but Jackson takes it like a trooper.  He is a true amazement to us!  I almost forgot-at present his coughing is getting better and we see Dr. Coffey on Thursday to release us of the nose washes-I hope!!
