On Wednesday, we attended an Open House through our Speech Therapist from St. Vincent's. It was at their main facility which I might say was quite nice. All of the family was invited to attend and it seems to me that her sisters enjoyed their time more than Eva did. There was face painting, balloon making, racecar racing, coloring, a great obstacle course, and they even had a therapy dog. Oh did I forget to mention the raffle, cookies, juice and snacks! They had invited every family within their network and only about 15 families were there. They had supplies for at least a hundred. Needless to say, it was not busy and we were spoiled with favors and snacks. The kids also got medals for completion for all the rooms. It was done very well and obviously we had a great time. 
On Friday, we had our quarterly appointment with our IDI. He looked at the blood work results and was taken back. At first he asked me how our winter went and I stated that Eva was only sick with a cold once. He was surprised by that and then informed me that her numbers were much lower that the previous results. Her IgG was 318 where last visit it was in the 400's. http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/immunoglobulins?page=2
As stated in the above website, it clearly shows that in rare cases, people are born with low counts and their immune system will be affected by it. He recommended us to return in two months rather than three. I was good with that.
Finally, Eva has a bad spring cold. It has turned into a cough and she is more irritable than usual. I was very aggressive by seeing our pediatrician quickly due to her visit from the IDI. Crossing fingers she just keeps the cold and we don't take a turn down a much more serious road.
