Absolutely Fabulous! Connor was actually RELEASED from pulmonary! I could not believe it. His PFTs were abnormal however they were exactly the same abnormal as they were 6 months ago. Dr. Ahrens explained that what this means is that Connor still has problems with his lungs and at some point he will probably end up back with them. For now his asthma is under control and the damage to his lungs is still very slight so he doesn't need the steroid inhaler and can use his albuterol as needed(as he is presently) and then use the liquid steroid boost when he has an exacerbation. Dr. Ahrens is comfortable that since his is still seen every 6 months with oncology that they will alert them to any problems they see or hear.
We will never fully be free from Children's of Iowa but I will take every break he gets.
The kids and I are heading to Chicago to see my parents. The ride is long but the kids have so much fun. They are expecting snow again so I have packed all the snow stuff. Maybe we can go out and make snow angels like Cameron, Kyla, and I did over Christmas break.
Oh and Airplane Guy, if you are out there, I am anxiously awaiting to hear how your ski trip went!!!
Cheers!
