Have Common Variable Immunodeficiency. Taking IgG And IV Antibiotics. Have DVT In Legs. Want Information

I am a 50 year old man. I was diagnosed with common variable immunodeficiency in 2008 as you can guess I am on Igg 30g every 3 weeks, even with the medication I have a new infection every 2 to 3 weeks in hospital on IV antibiotics or at home on them. A condition of my disease I develop DVT.s in my legs and twice I developed an embolism in my right lung 6 months later I developed one in each lung at the same time I almost died with this one. I was started on Coumadin after the second DVT as you can see I continue to develop the clots on the meds and my doctor says I am in therapeutic range I feel every day I wake up is a crap shoot. I have tried to find a hospital that will do a stem cell trans plant any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thankn You,
