New meds...

Well we went today to Texas Children's Pediatric Pulmonology Clinic and saw Dr F for the first time! Like I said before Grayson was diagnosed back in April-May with asthma and we have been just seeing our routine pediatrician whom I really do love and would not trade for anything, but I felt like I wanted a more definative diagnosis and medication program that I felt a specialist can only provide! I got the referal to Dr F from my co-worker and let me say I love the place! First I love TCH in general I love how clean and friendly EVERYONE always is! We got there a little early (how I don't know cause this morning was not going to plan)! We started to fill out the paperwork and the nurse came to get us from the waiting room... they weighed him and measured him (he is 23 lbs and 31 inches) very healthy and happy and they checked his blood pressure and pulse oximitry! The nurse was amazed at how well he did with all that, but what can I say I have a great kid! As it has been when he is off his meds (per MD do not give meds the morning of exam) his pulse ox was in the high 80's low 90's! Not too dangerous but shows that he does have some pulmonary issues! I spoke to the awesome nurse and told all the medical history! Then Dr F came in and we talked about Grayson... my favorite subject matter any day! She listened to his lungs and they were overall clear! YAY! She ordered a chest x-ray to get a baseline view and to make sure there was nothing else going on! After the chest x-ray the nurse came in and Dr F has changed his meds back to a puffer with a spacer and we are on a new stronger steroid 2 times daily and xopenex as needed! I was also told that now Millie is no longer allowed to be in rooms where Grayson plays OR sleeps so we are now moving Millie out of Grayson's playroom up-stairs AND as always is not allowed to go into his room! We don't go back till November, unless something comes up sooner! I feel so much better cause I know for a fact that YES Grayson does have asthma, before it has always been is it asthma or a constant viral cold or something else! But with the x-ray and everything else Dr F is very secure in stating that yes everything is asthma! But only time will tell is it the childhood form that he will grow out of in time OR will he ALWAYS have it! Now if Grayson has ANY chest issues instead of going to the pediatrician I will go see Dr F so that is a pain in the Butt but I think that is better cause they will be able to treat it a lot easier! So that is the plan for now!

Also, Grayson is now a walking fool! He is walking more and more every day! I am so excited! I am SO ready for him to be walking on his own for when we go into school or whatever but I know the time is coming! 

But as it has been I am a bad mommy that has been falling down on the job of taking pictures! Why... I really have no excuse as he has become more dependent and doesn't need me as much but we are still so busy! With my work schedule changing, Gray in a new school, and everything else going on we still LOVE to stay at home playing and with the new toys we got at his b-day... we really have been enjoying things! But I promise I will get around to taking some pics and I am also taking pics with the rest of the family as his school has been requesting pics and when I looked at our pics... I have lots of him... none of the whole family with him since our family trip camping... hopefully this weekend we will go swimming and I will take some good pics!
