Thoughts from Dr. M...

I spoke to Dr. M more than a couple times this week and there's nothing new to report. Which can be a bit frustrating. Dr. M confirmed that he did not have pneumonia nor did he blockage of his air passage. He still is not sure what the cause of the wheezeing is. He says he's hesitant to confirm "Asthma" even though the definition of asthma is constant wheezing.

However folks with asthma have disruptions in eating, sleeping & behavior and since Alexander is not affected in those areas at all yet he wheezes fairly consistently, we're at a stand still.

Our latest discussion was that it's a game of "wait & see". The next step WOULD be to put him under and put tubes down his throat with a camera to see if he can see anything. NEITHER him nor I want to do that since there is absolutely NO reason why Alexander should be put under. And thankfully Dr. M agrees, he feels that at this time he's still healthy & happy so there is no need to subject him to a procedure like that.

Whew... guess it's back to the game of "wait & see"
