November

We finally started making some progress in unraveling the medical mystery of Audra.
We began the month investigating the possibility of seizures...
and ended the month on a completely different path with the diagnosis of an immunodeficiency...
CVID,
which began to explain so many of the unknowns we have experienced with Audra since bringing her home 19 months ago.

December

Audra, my brave girl, began her treatment for CVID...
weekly infusions of immunogloblulins.
