My Christmas Wish
I really stink at this blog thing! LOL
Emily has had 2 hospital stays this year. The most recent, was last month And, she is wheezing, again. My ped sent us to a pulmonologist on Wednesday. After having her blow in this machine for 3 different tests, her long function was normal! NORMAL MY ASS!! But, he did say he could hear her wheeze.
So, he put her on another med for her neb, said just use it if I think she's in distress. BULL!! Well, the med (which I can't think of the name) isn't to treat asthma! It's to prevent it.
So, I called the peds nurse - ask her to pass on what the pulmo said. Then, of course on Thursday, she is worse. Call ped back. Nurse said "Dr. C said when you called back today, because he knew Emily would be worse, to call the pulmo." Called pulmo, he puts on her more freaking predisone. GRR!!!!
Emily goes to school today. Wonderful school nurse calls me, to make sure what time to do Emily's treatments. That was this morning. She calls back after afternoon treatment to tell me she sounds better than yesterday.
Emily texted me on the bus to tell me she got a solo in the concert Tuesday! YIPPIE!! Then, I call her and ask if she feels better, she says "a little." I ask if she wants to go shopping for new shirts. She tried 4 on this morning, all relatively new, all too tight. Freaking prednisone. Cried all the way to school - trying to cover up with her coat. She wants to go shopping- will see if she is really breathing better when I get home.
Allergist appointment on Dec 23. Not expecting anything, nothing before. But, am hoping for something so we can at least put a trigger on this.
Braces on Dec 29th.
My Christmas wish - that God would take this wheezing away from Emily!! FOREVER! AMEN!

The end of another school year
The school Emily has been at this year is just a 6th grade school. It has been absolutely wonderful. The staff is outstanding. And to think how much I hated it when I was there but that was because I had switched schools 3 times in 2 years.
Today when I pulled into the car pool line I noticed it was unusually long and slowwww. The line loops all the way arund from one side of the school to the other. At the back there is always a joke of the day (usually lame) and the answer it at the drop off. Today, instead of the joke, there were signs all along. They said stuff like "Have a great summer!" "Thanks for a great year!" "Good luck at IMS/CRMS." "Now it's time to say good bye." And the last one was "We're ready to be in our jammies."
Then, I got to the drop off and realized why the line was moving so slow and so long - those crazy teachers were out there in their jammies, waving signs and hooting and hollering!!!
I'm so gonna miss this school - but I will be back in just 4 years with JR.
And in less than one hour I will have a 7th grader!
