We went for Megan's 6 month check up with the Pulminologist at CHOP.
When Megan was there we had an upper GI done and a chest x-ray.
There was a spot on her liver and so the doctor wants us to follow up and recheck just in case although he believes it is nothing. So we will do that sometime soon, hopefully when my cast is off.
Seems I have been mis-medicating my daughter and not following her breathing treatments properly. I have been giving Megan the albuterol inhales twice a day instead of the flovent....I am so mad at myself but the doctor insured I did nothing wrong. I still feel like a terrible mother though.
So now we need to do the FLOVENT twice a day and albuterol for emergencies. UGH!
The doc listened very carefully to her heart and ensured me he did not hear a murmur. I just wanted another doc to listen besides her ped to see what they hear. He believes she is fine and healthy since she is growing well.
I know I worry and feel like I am waiting for a ball to drop sometimes....I just need to stop holding my breath and BE HAPPY that Megan is healthy.
Sometimes the internet makes you worry for no reason, I think that is why I am keeping my distance these days.

since being diagnosed back in July happened last night. So we pulled out the emergency inhaler....the Flovent! And my goodness, it worked miracles. For the first time since Megan started with her breathing problems we have always had to rush to the ER for a breathing treatment and steroid shot to clam her down....not last night! We did it on our own and she slept!
So for all those out there who deal with the breathing, croup, wheezing issues, it will get better once you get that diagnosis of Asthma because the Pulminologist will make sure you have a Flovent for emergencies. I really believe since we have been treating Megan everyday with the albuterol inhaler that that is the reason she hasn't presented until last night. 4 months and this is the 1st time, before that we dealt with the ER runs once or twice a month.
So although Megan is feeling under the weather she will not be going to the ER anytime soon.
