Sorry it has been a few days. I have been having trouble with an internet connection, and I really haven't had much going on. John had his pulmonary appointment today. He had a chest x-ray which showed that he has a lot of mucus in his lungs. They also didn't sound clear, so he is on a steroid to clear up the mucus, and a nebulizer 2-3x a day. So we got a new machine. John also has to do a sweat test which will officially rule out cystic fibrosis. It is a very easy, non invasive test, so it will be something to check off our list. He also has some upcoming bloodwork to do, but we are waiting to do it with other bloodwork that he will probably have to do after meeting with our other specialists. It was a very long day today. Sienna got her flu shot, and was supposed to get blood drawn for a lead test, and another test that she has not ever gotten done. At 4:30 we had to stop to eat lunch, and were not able to do the bloodwork. So we will get to go back in the morning. Gamma Dude helped me today. Thanks Dude, I can't imagine what my day would have been like with no help. Again, I feel really good about being here. I know John is in good hands, and everyone is determined to help us find some answers. Hopefully I can get Sienna in school this Friday, so I can get some of this done without her. She has been such a great kid these last two weeks. I hate sending her off to school, because she has been so much fun to have around. I know she will enjoy meeting some new kids. She started ballet the other day, and met two girls. So she is happy to say that she has two friends already! All of our spirits are high. I decided this move is going to be what I make of it. So we are going to have fun. I hope you all are well. Johnny is in CB and is going to be moving this weekend. I will be sending out an email looking for volunteers to help him move.
