Lung function is A OKAY!

Today after a hairy drive to WPG in our first snow storm of the year, we met with respirology. It's never fun to have the doctor walk in the room and the first thing she says is "Wow, she really is small, isn't she.?"...especially after having her weighed and she hasn't gained since last week.  Just when I was very happy with her recent weight gain, my heart sinks a little again.  The good news though, is that her lungs are looking good! No major concerns there! So that's great that we can scratch another specialist off our list of people to see! YAY!!!

This doctor was concerned about M though, and wanted to help me out as much as possible. So she went over EVERYTHING with me regarding M (even though she most certainly didn't have to) and gave me a few tips and ideas of what to pick the doctor's brains about next. She also wrote my pediatrician a letter stating what some of the next things they should be looking at. So that was really great of her!!

I feel like I get so much information from all these doctors and am asked so many questions about so many different things, that I most certainly can't remember it all and can't even begin to actually put it all down on this blog. There is still so much stuff they are watching, and we're watching, but it feels good to be starting to get down to just a few doctor's. Not 7 or 8 like we were seeing up until now. So slowly we're axing them off the list! :)

Tomorrow, I will call the GI and let him know that while the double dose of the reflux meds seem to have changed how she eats throughout the day, it hasn't increased her intake much at all. Maybe by an ounce or so in a day. But not much. She now can seem to eat more at once, but then doesn't eat for 7-8 hours after that. I will also let him know that her sleep seems to be increasing again, not going down.

So the next appointment is: next Wednesday. Follow up with the pediatrician on her weight and everything else.

Please continue to pray that we would get down to the bottom of this.
