Update

I heard from my Allergist on Thursday. It turns out that the immune work-up she ordered was abnormal. The way I understand it...there should be 14 antibodies in my blood protecting me from respiratory infections. However, I only have 1. Weird! But, it make sense - I get sick so often. I will see the doctor on Thursday for more info, but apparently I can get a pneumo vaccine. The vaccine should help me to not get sick so often. I wish I would have learned about this sooner! My boss is concerned about me working on the Pulmonary floor, but I really enjoy my position. I am waiting to hear from the doctor before making any changes & hopeful the vaccine will improve my immune system.
