We are home from Cinci. We had a good trip. Jeff and I had to switch driving off and on! both of us are exhausted already so we'd sleep some then drive some! Got us there and back alive so I suppose it will do!
We met Joey's new pulmonary doctor today. The visit went really well. I like this doctor a lot! She is very agressive. She doesn't just treat to treat, she wants a reason. So, she gave us an action plan for Joey's asthma. First time EVER that has been done! SO excited to now have that in place!!!! She is scheduling him for a CT scan of the chest. This is one that he will have to be sadated (Sp?) for. They want to look at the lungs to see if there is any scarring or damage. If there is, it may be that causing these issues and not neccessarily his asthma. So, that would change our treatment plan. For now, we stay on what we are until that is done. She said if it is scar tissue or damage, our treatment plan at home would be much different and VERY time consuming for awhile.
Also, they are going to do a sleep study. He still snores a lot so they want to make sure we aren't having any obstructions or central apnea going on. That test will be interesting as he has a lot of issues with sticky on his body! Ug! For those who don't know about a sleep study, you have little patches stuck all of you, little buttons basically glued to your head, many things taped to your face... NOT pleasant. He goes totally crazy about that stuff so I'm PRAYING hard starting NOW that he'll surprise us and do VERY well!
