Welcome to our Blog!

Well, this is our first entry in our new blog...



As the title implies, this blog is dedicated to my three beautiful boys who live with Primary Immunodeficiency Disease (PIDD). They are: Benjamin (9 years old), Jeremy (7 years old) and Matthew (3 years old). We have created this blog so as to have a place to update family and friends on their health and progress. From time to time, Ben and Jeremy may wish to share something as well.



Thankfully, there is not too much to report at the present... all three are doing well now that they are on subq IG. Their infections have been pretty well-controlled as long as we up their doses every so often to allow for growth :) Once in a while we do have break-through bacterial infections, and they still seem to catch EVERY virus known to mankind, but all in all it has been a tremendous improvement in our quality of life...



Oddly enough, after years of trying to get myself diagnosed with a PIDD, I am finally getting a little attention from my own doctors! Now that the boys are relatively stable, it seems that I am sick more often than they are!! Hmmm.... there just might be something to this... stay tuned!



Thanks for peeking in! I'll try to post updates every so often, so come back soon to learn about our journey of HOPE! And BTW, check out the videos attached of Ben & Jeremy in Disney fighting Darth Vader... reminds me of how brave they are as they battle PIDD everyday!



Many thanks!
