Pulmonary

Yesterday was the trek to the pediatric pulmonary clinic at the U of M.  Yes, it's a familiar path and yet this time it was lined with freshly sprouted gratitude as we celebrated being able to continue with our favorite docs there. 

This was Toby's first return visit since coming off the oxygen in February.  His nutritionist also stopped by for a visit.  Overall, everyone there seemed satisfied both with his growth and with his pulmonary status.  He continues to have slight symptoms of some sort of allergy or asthma despite being on meds so they are switching one of his prescriptions to see if that can be better controlled.  Otherwise, things are looking good and we will continue the status quo for his other meds and breathing treatments.

We did stop by radiology for some x-rays.  He was strapped in a little seat this time instead of having to straddle a saddle (hooray for being bigger!) before his arms were strapped up and the chin strap applied.  I am officially granting him a bravery award for this one.  He was so good and cooperative with just one little face pucker and three tears when swiveled sideways for the second shot.  What a little man he's become.
