Check-up info!

Thank you to everyone that kept Lexi in your prayers.  Her check-up today was really good.  Her pulmonary function test was 102!  Yay!!:)

They did see a lot of nasal congestion and think it may be partly from allergies b/c of the dark circles under her eyes as well.  We are going to try some Zyrtec to take sparingly b/c it can really help with allergies but if taken more than a week at a time can dry up secretions and make them impossible to cough up.

Also, Lexi's prothrombin time labs have been elevated for a couple of years now.   This level tells how long it takes her blood to clot and this test is often used to tell if someone's vitamin k is where it needs to be.  She has taken vitamin k off and on but every time this level it checked it has remained abnormal.  The nutritionist seemed pretty concerned about this especially because Lexi has started bruising more easily.  So, we are going to restart a higher dose of vitamin k and recheck labs in 3 months.  I pray they are normal.  The nutritionist seems to think there is something else wrong causing this level to be abnormal...but I pray she is wrong.

Praising the Lord tonight and we are so thankful for Lexi's health!

Let us Pray...

Lexi goes to UNC on Tues for a check-up.  We have just completed four weeks of Septra and Refampin.  Her cough is so much better.  She still has a little mucus in her lungs, but I am hoping it is the change in weather.  Help me pray for clear lungs and clear upper respiratory cultures.
