pulmonary function test
Reagan had her first Infant Pulmonary Function Test yesterday. I was a bit scared about the whole thing, but it went really smoothly. Reagan had to be awake by 7:00 am, couldn't eat after 9:00 am, and couldn't nap before the procedure at 1:00 pm. They gave her some sleepy medicine to help knock her out, and then they attached her to the equipment. The purpose of the test is to measure the size of her lungs and how easily air moves through them. She was done by 3:00, and then we had to wake her up to make sure she could swallow. She threw up a little, and then fell sound asleep in the car on the way home. She napped till about 5:30, and then was very loopy. We couldn't really let her walk, because she was very unstable. Luckily this morning the medicine has worn off completely. Now we are just waiting for an update from the doctor to see what the test shows.
