Her immunology studies seems to show that her immune system is functioning as it should. The bloodwork that detects antibodies to allergies was almost undetectable - just as I believed. G has never shown any signs of allergy or asthma triggers, except for exposure to extreme cold, illness and physical activity.
Her radiology studies showed that, at the time they were done, she was getting plenty of air into her lungs. However, she wasn't able to expell a significant potion of the air when she exhales - which is basically the description of active asthma.
Our specialist says we will go ahead with the changes to her meds, and he'll see us in three months to re-evaluation. He really wants to see her the next time she is sick, if we can swing it financially.
I went through my blog a few days ago - she was so sick last fall. I had forgotten how bad it really was. We had 27 consecutive days of using the rescue inhaler. I was beside myself with fear and worry. She really is a lot better than she was. She just needs 6 different medications to do so.
