I meant to share this eariler but frankly, it still isn't finalized and nothing has *actually *changed yet. That said, I finally heard back from Gavin's immunologist about the issues with his GAMMAGARD. They hadn't reached out because they were still trying to get everything approved.
The got everything approved but insurance screwed up and approved the wrong pharmacy.
You can't get these things at just any pharmacy. The pharmacy has to agree to certain terms and there's a lot of red tape.
Approving the wrong pharmacy doesn't do us any good because everything is at our pharmacy. I don't know if that makes sense. Basically, insurance made a mistake and the doctor has not be able to reach them to get it fixed. Calls aren't being returned, at least as of Monday.
They are going to call me as soon as this gets fixed and I haven't heard back yet, so nothing has been fixed.
So you see, it's progress without progress. At least we know the meds are approved. That's something, but at the same time, that knowledge alone isn't giving Gavin his immune system back.
Anyway, that's what's going on.
Update number two centers around the issues with Clozapine. It's been about a week on the lower dose and we haven't seen changes in either direction, meaning he's still very lethargic but at the same time, the decreased dose doesn't seem to be making his Schizophrenic symptoms worse either.
That opens to the door to *maybe we can further reduce the dose? *I honestly don't know if that's good news, bad news or just news.
I'm hoping to hear more about the IVIG Infusions stuff today, and if I do, I'll pass it along.
