It looks like Annie is on the road to recovery. After her test on Thursday, she seemed a little better and she seems to only be improving. She is still wheezing and coughing but it doesn't consume every little bit of her body like it has these past 2+ weeks. We are continuing with the steroids and asthma treatments and will hope she continues to improve.
It's a lot of work (I feel our home has enough medication to stock a rural clinic somewhere) but we have worked closely with her pediatrician to keep her out of the hospital and I so grateful for that. Annie has also done anoble job breathing well enough to keep her O2 levels high and gaining weight (she is 14 lbs!!) throughout all of this.
If she continues to improve it seems like we have ruled out Annie having anything that is anatomically off (i.e. a growth somewhere that's interfering with her breathing). What this does mean is that when Luke gets a cold or there is a bug out there, Annie may get sick like this again. So, it's going to be a long winter with us doing our best to stay away from germs and keep her healthy. At least now we have the tools and a little more knowledge then when we started on this scary ride a few weeks ago. We'll continue to keep you posted!
Annie has started really laughing and smiling. I'm working on getting some video to put on the web for everyone to enjoy!
