Update on Chloe

Well, today was Chloe's CT scan of her sinuses. She did really well, only getting a little bit anxious.

1. We then went to discuss her latest x-ray of her bowels. She is more impacted than the last x-ray done about a month ago. ?? who knew?
2. Regarding her sinuses: we received a call this afternoon from the Immunologist's office. They said the nasal smear was full of bacteria and the CT scan showed it as well. They have put her on an adult dose of antibiotics for a month along with a steroid to try to help clear up the bacterial infection in her sinuses. Please pray for her. She is just learning to swallow pills. She will be taking 2 antibiotics 3 times per day along with a liquid steroid. I guess I should say "pray for us" too.
3. Immune diagnosis: the results from the blood work came back and it looks like she put up a good immune response to the Tetanus titers but not to the the Pneumonia titers (only a 4 out of 14). We will need to get booster shots of the Prevnar vaccine, one next week and then another 1 wk later. They will wait a week and then draw blood to repeat the test to see her immune response. This is all to clear up whether she has a true Immune Disorder or just a combination of illnesses.

Chloe is really holding up well and feeling really pretty good most of the time. I notice her ability to focus lacking at times and she just wants to veg in front of the TV by supper time each day. Please continue to pray for her...she said today "I wish I would have never said my stomach hurt" :( -- that is what led us to have the Allergy testing, thinking maybe we had a milk allergy. Now here we are. I know she will be fine and she is handling the poking and prodding well. Right now she is just ready to be out of school and into swimming this summer. She is also really looking forward to Devils' Den this weekend. We have reserved a cabin for a few nights. We all really need the fun time together. Thanks for your prayers. I pray you have a nice week. :)
