Tristan Update #3

Tristan is doing much better by our determination. He is still on breathing treatments and oxygen, but he was very active this afternoon, seems to be breathing easier and wasn't coughing as much. We were very excited to talk to a Pulmonologist today who is very aggressive in what he wants to do to treat Tristan. He was disappointed that the NICU or our Pediatrician hadn't ever referred us to one because of Tristan's history on the ventilator and his breathing problems. When we get discharged we plan to meet with him and get a camera down Tristan's throat so he can see what is going on and how we will treat this problem so we don't continue to have to go to the hospital. He also feels that Tristan has asthma which will be treated as well. We are very thankful and to have someone finally be straightforward and aggressive in how to solve these breathing problems for the future. We're hoping that this hospital stay is the catalyst for solving his breathing struggles. Thanks for the prayers.
