Yet another update for Kairington

So Kairington had her doctor appointment with the Pulmonary Specialist this week down in Salt Lake. Well the doctor was not happy to hear about how much she is still not breathing at night, but said her lungs sound good so that was a good thing. The bad thing is she is pretty sure she has OSA, or Obstructive Sleep Apnea. She is thinking that it might be her adenoids are to big, in which case they would need to be removed via surgery. Or that the cartilage around her larynx is too floppy, is which case some might have to be removed or Kairington would have to be put on oxygen at night to help keep her air ways open until the cartilage hardens as she gets older. Another thought is that her acid reflux is so bad that she is getting acid into her lungs. So with so many reasons why Kairington is having the issues she is having, the doctor made a to -do list. First was to order an oxygen test for two nights. Along with her apnea monitor she already has, she needed to wear a monitor on her foot for two nights to test her oxygen levels, check we finished that last night and now need to wait for the results. Next was to contact the insurance to see if they would pay for a sleep test, check, her office is checking into that. Next would be to have her stop taking all acid reflux medication to see what her body does with no medication, check, she has been off medication for a week and seems to be doing good....no major throw ups yet! Finally would be to have a bronchoscopy performed. This in-tells Kairington being put under and a scope being put up her nose and all the way down to her lungs to see if and what is obstructing her sleeping and causing her to stop breathing. So that is what we are doing tomorrow actually...we are heading down to Salt Lake to Primary Children's Hospital to have a bronchoscopy done at 3pm tomorrow. I am a nervous wreak the closer it gets, but I also know that something is wrong with my baby and this will help get us one step closer to finding out what and hopefully fixing things. So thanks to my wonderful sister, Ana and her husband we at least get to leave our other two children here....I am hoping that 2 less children will equal less stress in the waiting for....we will see! I will update once we are home tomorrow night. Please keep my precious baby girl in your prayers!
