On Timmy's 5th birthday, (one day after daylight savings started) Caitlyn and I woke up super early to go down to Long Beach for a pulmonary follow-up. She had a chest x-ray and then we went to the outpatient pulmonary clinic to see Dr. Chin. The x-ray showed vast improvement of her right upper lobe with just a trace of consolidation? left. Actually, Dr. Chin didn't explain what was actually still there, but on the x-ray, there was still a light patch of "haziness" in that area of her lung. However, the big whited out wedge was no longer there. That was good news. For the time, she will continue on Albuterol (now an inhaler instead of the nebulizer) and Flovent twice a day. We will return in about a month and Caitlyn will do a pulmonary function test to see if she still has any breathing impairment. No more x-rays!
On Wednesday, we will go back to Miller for a follow-up with Infectious Diseases. I'm not really optimistic that they will have anything new to tell us, but we'll see.

Yay, Caitlyn!
I'm so glad to see that you've got more good news and your lungs are healing. Now we'll pray that the doctors can figure out what caused your illness in the first place.
