MITO: Full set Pulmonary Function Tests

[Guest guest]

Hey guys!

In Jan. had a spirogram and a cold air challenge that showed athsma. We are now looking at another long trip to Birmingham to address further her breathing difficulties. She has been on 2 puffers for almost four weeks so I feel we need to explore more.

Her pulmonologist wants to do a full scale PFT on Mon. Including lung volume measurment, maximal venteletory ventilation and then schedule a sleep apnea test. We had a sleep study done April 2002 is there need to do another one? If you have had these tests done and can tell me about them and your experiences I would greatly appreciate it.

I have been unable to keep up with those here as much as I would like to be but I think about yall bunches, hope all here are doing well and a huge welcome to all the newbies here.

If you are the praying kind please pray for us on Monday as our appt is at 11 and we are

3 1/2 hour drive away from the hospital. And pray for answers to the breathing issues.

The Dr we are seeing called me himself and that was a surprise. He is very nice and seems to be asking all the right things and is genually concerned......so this is a GOOD THING!

Have a great week all!
