So, if you've read my posts recently, you know that my baby girl has been struggling with respiratory issues. Ugh! Today, we went to Plano Presby to get what I hoped would be a normal chest x-ray for our follow up appointment on July 7. You can tell where this is going, right??? So, we head that way and hang out for about 1 1/2 hours, good times with two restless children. We get home, I put Sweet Pea down for a late nap and things are good. About 5:30 this afternoon, we get a call from the pulmonologist's office. How has SP been responding to the treatments, is she having any symptoms? I'm thinking, no, she's really been good. Then, the nurse tells me that when the doctor looked at the x-ray, he saw that she still has pneumonia in her lungs. I nearly fell over! Are you kidding me????? The initial plan was to start her on the breathing treatments again and hold out until our July appointment.
Here's where things get strange....during the time of this phone call, SP was still asleep. When she woke up, I went to get her and she was coughing her head off. Then, I was changing her clothes and I could hear her wheezing. I am sure the doctors think I'm a quack, but all of this literally started TODAY.... I called the office back and left a message. The returned my call and gave me a treatment plan. We now have an appointment Monday morning at 8:30, thank goodness! Looks like our trip to the panhandle will have to be postponed a little bit. Sunday was our planned date of departure, but I'm just thankful we have an appointment and are in good hands.
I called my mom sobbing and freaking out. She calmed me down and reassured me that my baby girl is healthy and has just had a hard time getting through this respiratory shit. So, I am calm, but I'm a little worried that there may be a deeper issue going on here... I would really appreciate a few extra prayers and thoughts until we get to the bottom of this!
Thanks!
ADDED LATER: Here's my dilema, do I keep this child home and away from everyone and everything? This will create a very angry and stir crazy mommy. I realize it's not all about me... but, summer is supposed to be swimming, outside, good times, right????
Help a sista out here....
