So..this is how it went...

So the pneumothoraces (those pesky pockets/collapses) are all almost gone. Which would be great, GREAT, IF the doctor didn't think he has a type of Emphysema. Which will probably/possibly result in more leaky lungs. We don't know for sure exactly which type it is & how long it will take to go away, if goes away and all that. There is also a possibility that he may have Pertussis. Which if he does have we will probably see more leaky lungs too. We went to Scottish Rite for tests after the appointment and will know something maybe Friday, but for sure early next week on that. We go back in two weeks to the Pulmonologist unless he gets sick or worse sooner. Hopefully he starts to WOW us with feeding a lot better and next week show that he's gained well! He see's the Pediatrician next. The Pulmonologist is trying to get him set up for home health for oxygen treatment for his to keep him more comfortable when he's in a rut with his saturations on the lower end & for the choking episodes.
