Since Abby came home last month we've been back down to PCMC 3xs to see specialists. We've seen the cardiologist, opthamologist and pulmonologist. She's also been to the pediatrician 3xs with another visit coming up on Monday.
The cardiologist appt. was to address her mild case of pulmonary hypertension. He felt she would be better served seeing a pulmonologist. The pulmonologist prescribed a Flovent inhaler for her 2x/day. Hopefully this will help her get off of the oxygen a little earlier. It is also supposed to give her an extra layer of protection incase she's exposed to a virus again. We're hoping she'll be off oxygen by Christmas. It will be amazing to not have her attached to anything.
The opthamologist cleared her of all signs of ROP (retinopathy of prematurity). She'll see him again, along with many other specialists, when she has her neonatal follow up in mid-August. This will be up in Ogden and she will probably have 3 or 4 appt. over the next few years. They will do a complete overview, then make any recommendations for further treatments.
