Diagnoses!!

We are being discharged today!!!! Yea, we got some really great info while we where here and are very happy we came. So on with what we know. They have diagnosed Grace with Asthma which we kind of already knew. In addition to Asthma Gracie was diagnosed with Reflux, Laryngomalacia , and Chronic Sinusitis. So what now? Well the biggest concern that needs treated further is the Laryngomalacia. We are going to see another Doctor at a different hospital while we are still here in Denver. The Laryngomalacia has been causing upper airway difficulties for Gracie. So what is it, and how do we treat it? Laryngomalacia is the underdevelopment of her Larynx. Hers looks like that of an infant instead of that of a 5 year old. Because it is underdeveloped it is floppy and flops over when there is any swelling of inflammation. Thus causing breathing problems. This was hard to diagnose and was found through a very difficult test. So we are going to see a ENT Doctor tomorrow to see if he feels if Gracies adenoids are removed if she would have more room to move air. We are very happy with this diagnoses. The other things are treated with simple meds. We are still learning about Laryngomalacia and will follow up with more info when we know what it is. In the mean time we are going to visit with Alan's family who live close to Denver and then return home on Saturday night. We are grateful for all the prayers and support while we have been here.
