Izzy

New pic of our Izzy. Can you tell she was happy about me disturbing her nap? LOL Kev went to the allergist & found out his #1 allergy is dog :( We're looking at possibly needing to have someone keep her short-term until his asthma is under control.

More updates

Kyra has an appt with the allergist for testing on January 4th and Olivia has an appt with a dr @ Children's that specializes in sleep disorders and pulmonology for February 2nd - she also has her regular 6mth check-up with the Cardiologist on Feb 17.

Kyra's repeat CBC results

Essentially no change, so to rule allergies 100% out, he's sending us to an allergist and then we'll go from there.  Her Eosinophil count is still high, so we need to get to the bottom of things - allergies are step 1.  She has been on allergy medication, but possibly not enough or long enough.

Livy's 2nd sleep study

Well, we went in for sleep study #2 last night.  We had it confirmed that she DOES still have central AND obstructive sleep apnea :(  Supposedly having her tonsils and adenoids taken out would take care of the obstructive, but apparently not.  However, she is having more central episodes.  The nurse said the stridor breathing she does at night is highly unusual and in her 20+ yrs of experience in respiratory and sleep, she's never seen anything like it - especially in someone without any known respiratory issues.  She was shocked to hear that it was a 'good' night for Olivia - she said she honestly couldn't imagine it being worse.

So, we spoke to her primary doc this morning and are waiting on a referral to Children's Hospital Pulminology department and then we go from there.  The sleep tech said there were a few options, but without knowing what's causing her issues she had no idea what they'll want to do with her.  She said the possibilities are meds, low levels of oxygen, and/or CPAP.  Because of the holidays, we probably won't have the official results until after the first of the year and who knows how long until they get her in.

Health updates

Ky had to go back to dr today for repeat CBC (last showed high esinophils) and recheck lymph nodes. We get results tomm.

Tonight I am the hospital with Liv repeating her sleep study & checking on her sleep apnea.

Will update as we know more.
