PFT results

She passed! Okay, it's not a test like that, but Madi's lungs look normal. Thank goodness for that! She's now sleeping and probably will be for a while as she was under some anesthesia. We ordered her "vest" today and it will be here on Wednesday or Thursday. This will take the place of the twice-daily "poundings" that we do on her. She wears it (it's connected to a big air compressor) for 30 mns. twice a day while using her nebulizer. Click here for a video of how the vest works. Thanks, everyone, for your thoughts and prayers!

Woo Hoo! I knew she would pass! I had already called mom for the update, didn't want to bother y'all. That's exciting that she gets her vest already. Thanks for the informative video links, it helps to know what you guys are talking about.
We love you Madi!

That's fabulous! You must be so relieved about the test results. I thought it would take a long time to get the vest. Impressive! Can she start using it right away? Can she sit for 30 minutes straight? I agree with Katy, the video was informative.
