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!
