Ayla's First PFT Test....

PFT (not Ayla but you get the idea)

This morning Ayla had her very first PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).  I called and arranged to have this test done.  Not because any Dr. ordered it-just because I wanted to get a baseline.

Typically these tests aren't done on kids before the age of 4-5 but some hospitals are doing them on infants and I wanted Ayla's Dr's to know exactly what's going on inside of her body.

I knew going over there that there was a good possibility we would not get any good data but I thought if nothing else- it would be good practice for her!  Most 3 year old's won't sit there and blow the way that they need to for the test to be accurate.       ~~NOT MINE~~

She shook the techs hand, told him her name, birthday, how old she was...and was stoked about playing the games....They make it into a game like blowing out a candle or making a bird fly higher the harder they blow...she did amazing!!

Her loops were all really good and although they don't have a lot of data to compare it to....her #'s were well above the average results.

So all in all it was a great day and she got rewarded with a Ring-Pop!

After that we came home, had lunch with "Aunt-kim" and now she's napping from a hard day.
