Addy update

Addy was put on medicine for CVS in December.  We have noticed a slight improvement.  When she has been sick it hasn't been as bad.  There have a been a few times when she is showing her signs of getting sick that she hasn't actually thrown up but sleeps instead.  Her  time between episodes seems to be getting longer.  It was usually 2-4 weeks and she recently went from 2/7/12 to this past Sunday night, 4/1/12 and that is the longest she has gone! 

We had a follow up with the GI DR the first part of March and he was happy to hear that she hadn't been sick in a month and she had also gaine 4 1/2 lbs since the last time we saw him 3 months before. The DRs have been worried about her weight for a while.  She has been maintaining 30 lbs for a long time.  But she hasn't lost weight but wasn't gaining and now she is gaining!  So we are staying on the medicine and another check up in 3 months. 

We also saw the allergist in March and I basically paid $60 to hear that we are on the right track with the GI dr.... and we don't need to see him again unless I see a reason to.... I guess that's how things go sometimes!

Another thing is we go back to the urologist for an ultrasound to see her kidney and ureter.  And then we find out more about surgery then.  In December the kidney and ureter had grown from the time before and the DR said that once it shows growth  it continues to grow and doesn't go back to normal so she would need surgery.... However... I'm believeing that everything will be the right size!  Because our God is a healer!  I truely believe that!  Can I get an AMEN!!!

This is what Addy does when she is having an episode... she sleeps (when she isn't throwing up and having diaherra)... almost coma like.  It can be scary how out of it she is. :(
