Medical Update

YAY! Finally some heartbreaking good news. Davin went in for his swallow test (MBS) on Tuesday morning, which he failed again. We knew this was going to happen. There is no way Davin is sitting in that cramped spot, strapped down and going to joyfully and willingly drink a chalky drink and not move an inch! It's crazy anyone can do that.

SO, we were worried that the Pulmonologist was going to drag his feet on the Bronchoscopy. We didn't have to worry long though: Phoenix Children's Hospital called today! The Bronchoscopy is scheduled for July 7th with a follow up on the 8th with the Dr. As much as it is going to kill me watch them stick my son with an iv, sedate him and shove a camera tube down his nose and throat into his lungs, I am so grateful we are finally able to do it. Better than this than another pneumonia episode and three days in the hospital over and over and over again!

Also, the Dr's office called and let me know they are really pushing my insurance to pay for the liquid thickeners we have been purchasing out of pocket because it is medically necessary. I would really like to not have to pay ~$300/month on those thickener packets.

I am so grateful we finally took Davin to Phoenix Children's-we have finally found Doctors that know what they are talking about, are efficient, nice and well, are getting Davin better. Thank you Thank you!
