Well we have met with the pulmonolgist and he says that all of her problems are above the neck. This means to us that she does not have asthma. This is a good thing. The bad part is that her tonsils are large and her adenoids are back. Her tonsils are not supposed to be in this picture. This is of her larynx and her tonsils.
This is just her tonsils
This is the regrowth of her adenoids. They are not supposed to cover more than 10% of the cavity shown
Since they are touching the larynx this causes her to cough all night and day. She is not sleeping well and has been put on a drug called Tussenex. This actually has vicidine in it. The doctors hope was that this would at least help her stop coughing at night. NO LUCK. She needs to pretty much sit up while she sleeps. We go back to see the ENT at the end of next week to discuss options at this point.
Now with all that said… does this look like a sick kid????
She loves her flash cards… we have to go through them EVERY night or she gets MAD
The neighbors have a mini car that Natalie is now obsessed with. She went out on her first car ride with a boy
Natalie telling the boy where to go…..
Natalie and her friend Karsyn in the car the next day
Hope you all are doing well. I will post more after we see the ENT
