Well this was the most emotionally draining day we have had since Edward was in the NICU. The day started with Melissa calling Dr. Bakhaya (Edward's Allergist) to get the results of his nasal CAT scan he had done yesterday to see if the adenoids had returned. Well the goodness they are not back the bad news is there is a small chance that Edward might have cystic fibrosis, which is a terminal illness. After Melissa heard that and she called me to tell me, we both lost it. Thankfully we have supportive staff. I later called back the doctor for some clarification on what type of blood work they are going to do on Edward on Monday. I guess he wants to see if there is a problem with his immune system when is comes to his sinuses. Not sure what that means. He also elaborated for me the chances he might have cystic fibrosis. The doctor told me if he did, he would be much sicker and showing other signs as well other than just the sinuses, and he doesn't actually think he has it, but has to eliminate the possibility. After talking to him I felt much better and called Melissa back to relay the news to her, which made her feel better.
After all this, we where just so emotionally drained that we just need some sleep... Well goodnight.
