Mary Grace had her doctors appointment yesterday with Dr. Thomas (pediatric pulmonary specialist in BR). They were there for a long time. Dr. Thomas really examined MG well and watched her play and interact with him inside and outside. Katie said that Dr. Thomas has a gift with children. MG never knew he was examining her. He has a special and unique way of interacting with children and it was very heart warming for Katie and Joe. So, the good news is that the test Dr. Thomas wanted MG to have was a sleep study. They just happened to have a cancellation yesterday and MG luckily had the test last night. Katie stayed with her in the room all night. They are home now and sleeping. It will take up to two weeks before they receive the results back. Dr. Thomas is still not letting go of the acid reflux aspirating into MG's lungs. He still thinks this might be involved. MG is adjusting to the oxygen at home and so is Katie and Joe. Once again, hopefully we are on the right track to getting closer to putting the puzzle together for MG. She will be seeing a neurologist Tuesday at BR Clinic. Dr. Bankston ( MG's pediatrician) recommended this doctor for Katie and Joe. Dr. Thomas wants a neurologist to examine MG to get her opinion of what is going on. He doesn't think there is a neurological issue, but he wants to cover all of the bases. I will update again as I get more information from Katie and Joe. Please continue praying for our baby girl. Katie and Joe appreciate all the support they have received throughout this scary experience.
