Clinic Update

Ayla had Clinic appointments with both GI (Liver) & CF Dr's yesterday.  Our morning appointment was with GI she got weighed, and her blood pressure and O2 stats checked...those were all good!

Ayla's GI Dr came in shortly after and was so pleased with her appearance, out of his mouth: "She looks the best I've ever seen her!" -this made mommy super happy!

He asked about her BM's, belly pain and distention (large tummy)....I was happy to report that she was have none of those except for BM's (haha)!!

When the Dr asked Ayla if he could check her tummy, she said "yes" and climbed on the table and laid back.  While he was pushing and feeling for her liver and spleen size and locations he said "She's so good!" She is such a pro at all this!!

He was so impressed with her that he didn't want to change anything!  He did order labs for liver enzymes and vitamin levels.  Her labs from previous months have been good...not normal but still very good and not "progressive" in his words!

He left the room with a smile on his face!

INTERMISSION................(we had 4 hours to kill in between appointments...so what was there to do???? Shopping of course!) -I got these cute Sandals...they've been on my wish list for a few months now!

Our afternoon appointment was with CF clinic....we didn't have to be weighed or anything like that b/c it was already in the system from that morning...

Our Dr. came in the room and was so pleased with her weight gain....Did I mention she gained 3 lbs in 4 months?? GO AYLA!!!

She asked about the Zenpep (enzymes) and I told her that they seemed to really help, since Ayla is now going to the bathroom 2-3 times a day and they are very formed and grease-less!!

She ordered a new RX for her cough/cold since it seems to be a persistent little bug and hasn't gone away with the first two.

She also mentioned Ayla may need to see an ENT about her ears, since she's had 3-4 ear infections in the last 6 months...so we will talk to pediatrician about that soon.

And then performed the throat swab...they know not to even get that out until right before with Ayla...b/c once she sees the tubes she's officially PO'D!!

But it was over in a matter of seconds and after some consoling she was ready to make the 4 hour drive home....

She was so very exhausted she slept the entire drive home....wow!!

It's so nice when Clinic goes smoothly~ Thank God for that and Ayla's health!!
