Today at clinic we were told that Macey's immune deficiency has taken on a new component. Her T-cell memory is low and her NK cells are low. Those terms are probably greek to most but dreaded to us PID parents. The NK level could be a fluke but the memory is a new low. With no new infections (minus all the skin ones) she really is showing the hand of God on her that she is not so much sicker.
We will also refer to another one of Dr. K's sources for more on the Alpha 1 level. This doctor is with the Mayo Hospital.
The extra bloodwork (all 40 cc's) was overnighted to the nurse at NIH and when that is run we should know when we have to take her back for another scope.
Anesthesia preop is tomorrow for the dental surgery then back home till next week.
