She huffed and puffed.....

Well... we just got back from the pulmonologist... Gabby did great, as expected... but Kaitlyn is another story. She huffed and puffed, but she won't be blowing any houses over.... After finishing three rounds of different oral antibiotics, and now also being on Tobi for the last two weeks to boot.... her PFT's went down instead of up. She's been incredibly fatigued lately, and coughing more so we know something is going on, just not what. We were hoping for the best, but it's official, Kaitlyn is heading back to the joint :( Thankfully we have awsome doctors, and since Kaitlyn's Aunt Steph is coming up next week and taking both Kaitlyn and Josh till the end of June, they have agreed to let her hold off the hospitalization until July 2nd. That means she gets to go have fun for a little before heading back, but it also means we will spend the 4th of July and possibly Gabby's 2nd birthday in the hospital. They will be doing the standard 2 week course of IV antibiotics, but Kaitlyn will also be having a bronchoscopy and a sinus surgery while there this time. We're not happy about it, but Kaitlyn is very excited about spending time with her Aunt Stephanie and her friend Jordan first :) She has also been saying that as much as she doesn't want surgery, she is willing to do just about anything to feel better at this point. Please keep Kaitlyn in prayer, hopefully they will find out what has been causing the dramatic drop in her PFT's over the last year or so, and be able to get her back up at least a little... we're hoping to get them way up, but they've warned us it may not happen... we're placing it in God's hands either way.
