Test results

Well Miss Brooklyn had her profusion scan & it went very well!!! She was getting 31% to one side and 69% to the other lung. The cardiologist informed us that she is border line, but wont need a cardiac cath. unless she goes below 25% so this was great news. Brooklyn had the VPI test done this month also and we discovered that there is a possibility she will need the surgery in the future but her speech needs to progress a little bit more to make sure that it will be beneficial for her. She was a little concerned about the lack of muscle in the back of the throat & her nasal regurgitation & wants her to get intense speech therapy. We have been able to wean her off of her oxygen during the day and she is satting at 89%, but she still has frequent desats at night and is still on 1/2 a litter of oxygen during naps and bed time. Looking into getting a sleep study because she is having some minor apnea episodes. She has also started having severe nose bleeds I think do to the dry climate and oxygen drying her nasal passages, so we will be looking into getting a humidifier for her oxygen. Otherwise she has been health and happy and will be turning 3 on July 9th!!! We are so excited to be celebrating this milestone!!
