Carson's IGG infusion is still continuing as I type this note at 9:30 PM. We started at around 3 PM this afternoon; and, as promised by the doctors, they are infusing slowly. We expect to finish the infusion by about 2 AM.
It is actually quite alright with us. Carson began to have a reaction around hour 3 when the infusion rate was bumped to 18 ml per hour. It began the same as it did 9 months ago, uncontrollable shaking, mottled skin and the feeling that he can't get warm. The nurse came immediately and the rate was lowered back down to 9 ml/hr. They gave benadryl this time (instead of a steroid) and Carson got better quickly rather than getting worse.
So...things are still going, we are still praying, but it seems that we might actually make it through this. With a little bit of luck and some more Divine intervention, we can bring that boy home tomorrow.
