Stay Tuned...

Well, we are headed to the hospital again. This time, however, it is a planned stay! Sophie will be going in next Tuesday (9/18) for several days of testing and monitoring. She will have a high-resolution CT scan and bronchoscopy under general anesthetic on Tuesday at noon (to look at her lungs) and an impedence study (check her acid reflux) and sleep study (breathing/oxygen levels) done while in the hospital, as well as any other tests they want to do. She will most likely have the feeding tube put back in before we leave too.

We are following a hunch that she may have some specific, relatively rare, lung issues. Not sure yet, but are dealing with a good pulmanologist who specializes in these issues.

Hopefully we will have a diagnosis soon, as this will really help in knowing how to help her breath easier and grow. I think it will also help me just to know what is wrong with her.

Would appreciate prayers for our hospital stay that Sophie would handle everything ok and specifically sleep well while we're there.

Don't want to bore with all the medical details but will update when we know more next week.
