Guest guest Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Our pediatrician is calling our state health person and requesting that zach be home serviced. Due to his health issues. Zachs lymph nodes are all enlarged and he says thats typical for kids w/ chronic infections. He can hear the junkiness as he says in his lungs. The thought of aspiration is still there. He was wondering about thinning his secretions, yet they think that he has reflux which i think would make his reflux worse. I had to thicken everything. so he says its like a catch 22. The pediatrician wants to do a sweat test to test for cystic fibrosis and cilizemy immotility . Zachs had 5 pneumonias since august. Just doesnt think that zach can cough up the stuff strong enough when he gets the slightest colds that he just can't handle his own secretions for that not to turn into pneumonia. The dr. thinks it would be rare for zach to have c.f yet, we just looked at each other and said well zachs a sorta rare type of kid cause of the ga2 and symptoms that no one can figure out. He says that the pulmonologist in albany will probably ask to do a bronchioscope. That is under sedation which i am not keen on. He says they're all trained for any type of emergency in pediatrics w/ cynotic episodes and other situations. i just hope they know what they're doing . It still doesnt make you not worry. I gotta try and get his apt moved up while he has the rattling/pneumonia so they can see how he is. Anyway thats what happened. Hey stacey, i missplaced ur phone number if u have mine give me a call so i can keep it on my id sarah mom to zach 4 ga2 and other more prominent health issues. alexis 6 __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
