Winter months

December 2014 - March 2015



Landrie recovered well from her Supraglottoplasty.  We enjoyed Christmas and New Year’s.  She had several upper respiratory illnesses (URI) that were quite rough on her.  We frequented the children’s ER.  Definitely took me a while to figure out what was her normal and what needed medical attention.  It was a rough winter especially since she was in daycare and they get sick all the time.  She had a follow up with ENT in January.  Doc thought she was recovering well from surgery.  He wasn’t thrilled about her repeated sicknesses and slow weight gain, but decided to give her a little more time.  She went back in February for another follow up.  She was still struggling with the sicknesses and slow weight gain so he recommended surgery, Aortopexy, for her IAC(Innominate Artery Compression).  She had to meet with a cardiothoracic surgeon and they ran a few tests including blood work and an echocardiogram.  Her surgery was scheduled for the middle of March…..just 3 days after my birthday.  It was definitely an anxious birthday.
