Overload

Today has been a day filled with a lot of information. I have had to gather reports and X-Rays for Karson since he is going tomorrow to see a Dr. at National Jewish. He could be seen there before he could be seen at Children's Hospital. However I hope I am making the right decision with going here verses Children's Hospital.

Yesterday's appointment with Dr. Guarin went well. She was happy with his reports except the fact that the specimen inquiry showed signs of influenza so she gave him an antibiotic for this. So he will be on that for 10 days. She wants to move down his meds in terms of seeing if he can come off the Xopenex. I asked her if he will be on inhalers during the summer months and she said yes. She thinks he will have asthma until he is 3. She hopes he will grow out of it and so do I.

It was his "eos" that showed 2% in the report that reflects asthma and makes her believe he will have asthma or asthma issues past this fall. She also suggested a sweat test to check for CF. This test is just the final stages to rule out any other lung issues. She said she is 99% sure Karson does not have CF but the only way to know is to do the test. I am sure that will be next week.


Dr. Guairn asked if Karson has seen Dr. Barrios and I said he goes on Thursday. She said his pyloris looked enlarged and irritated. After looking at the reports today that I picked up it looks like GI will suggest a gastric emptying study. I wonder what that will be like and how long of a process it will be. Should know more about this in two days.


For now I am super excited that for Karson's nap he was off, yes off Oxygen! He was over 90 his entire nap. I worry about bed time though because he seems to sleep harder at night. We shall see though. This would be great if he could come off and sleep like a normal baby!


I shall post tomorrow afternoon. I think Karson has a skin test after our appointment with the doctor.
