CT Results

Max did great for his CT yesterday. I got to sooth him while they put him to sleep with the gas mask. That was absolutely heartbreaking. Thankfully they didn't have to put in an IV or intubate him. Tim ended up working the night before and got off in time to be there with us. Max's radiology nurse told us that he would probably be very cranky and sleepy for 24 hours. So we got home around 2:00pm hoping for a good nap so that Tim could get a nap in as well. OH NO. Not Max. The little booger was up and playing until 6:00pm. He never does anything the way that they're suppose to happen. Oh well... I am just glad that he tolerated it very well and never had any side effects from it.

On with the results.... after making us wait until 4:00 this afternoon his pulmonologist called with the results. He said that nothing unexpected was found. There are from marks the pneumonia he had. They can also see signs that he was intubated quite a few times. We were all expecting this. With that said, the reason we did this test was to see if there was any damage from aspiration and there is not. So we don't have to worry about Max and his eating. He also said that Max's right lung is a good deal bigger than the left. He said that this is because his left lung is more underdeveloped so the right lung has grown to compensate for that. Now onto the biggest and greatest news, they are anticipating that Max will outgrow is lung problem!!! This is HUGE!!!! Of course, he said they can't see into the future (duh!) but they are expecting that as he grows his lungs will grow with him. So for now, Tim and I are checking the lung condition off our list of things to worry about. Not that he still doesn't need your prayers in the lung department, but now we put all of our focus on the kidney condition.

You all have a great rest of the week! We have another sleep study next Tuesday night and a kidney/bladder ultrasound on Wednesday morning (shoot me). I'll keep you posted on how all of that goes next week. Enjoy your weekend.
