We have been spending quite a bit of time at NYU for testing (since Elly works at Columbia we have had to enter the hospital in disguise lest we be associated with our city rival!). There facilities are really phenomanal and we have been very fortunate with the level of care that we have received. Annie's pediatrician is also amazing since prior to our appt she calls, finds out who the leading guru is, speaks with them, and gets us an appt within 24 hours. If only my salon was that available!
The good news is that we have been able to rule out a virus in Annie's heart (via an echo) and her airway is clear so there is no obstruction (she got to drink a bottle of barium and we watched it travel down via xray). Annie is still wheezing so we are not sure why this is continuing but she does sound much better today. I so hope this is a sign of improvement. Tomorrow we check back in with her doc to see where we go from here (probably to a pulminologist).

Hi - So the process of elimination (by which I do not mean the poopy end - altho' I'm sure that continues as well) continues apace. Jaynie called me this evening for a progress report on Annie, and she said this time of year was the worst for her and Susie, breathing-wise. Anyway, she sends her best...me too, despite drippy, drippy sinuses (buy more Kimberly Clark stock!). Hope whatever tests are yet to come will either be negative or show something easily (?) treatable. Keep the reports coming.
