They checked her blood, sputum, everything. It's just that she aspirates constantly that she has these pockets of stuff brewing in her lungs all the time. The new spot is atelectasis, which is like a collapsed portion of her lung. It happened to her right lung too. Because of all her aspiration and airway problems, she can't recover from it very well like a healthy person could. So it's a chronic problem. The spot on her right lung hasn't changed in a year. Anyway, she's diagnosed with chronic lung disease, chronic aspiration, atelectasis, pseudomonas, recurrent pneumonia...you name it, she has it. It's not any separate disease or condition, just secondary to her CP. And they say CP can't kill you. *rolls eyes*Shaunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01295902289838109583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684525930962718074.post-66212775267215177982010-04-15T20:22:47.966-04:002010-04-15T20:22:47.966-04:00Poor little Charlie! I hope she's back to her...Poor little Charlie! I hope she's back to her sparkling self soon. So sorry to hear about her ordeal. The biggest obstacle with our kids is treating them correctly. If you hadn't gone the aggressive route and she had gotten aspiration pnuemonia from having a build up of so may secretions, you would have hit your head against the wall as to why you weren't more aggressive. It's pretty much a lose-lose situation.
