Ava's Appt

Ava had her appt on Thursday and things went well. We were there from 2:30 pm to 5 pm. Talk bout sucky with a 3 yr old and 5 mo old. Oh well. So she thinks that Ava has malacia-which is her cartilage in her throat is too soft. When she coughs, everything she is coughing up gets stuck in her throat because the cartilage is too soft and collapses. That is why she cant cough anything up. The airway is obstructed because the cartilage constricts. So she also thinks that she might out grow it along with her asthma and allergies. On Friday we had to do a sweat test(to rule out cystic fibrosis, just a screening) and blood work(for allergies-to the BIRD!!) And then Thurs we have to do a visual swallow test. She also gave me a different inhaler to use. So maybe we are starting to get somewhere now! Anyways, more pictures coming!!(found the cord now I need batteries, sheesh)
