Wednesday, 1/29, I took Toby to his follow-up appointment from his stay at Riley with RSV. Toby now weighs in at 17 pounds 11 ounces and is 26.5 inches long. We met with the pediatric pulmologist and she asked how things had been going, how his cough was and how his breathing was.
He had quieted down with his breathing sounds and his cough is very intermittent. However, I have been noticing a snotty nose. She listened to him with the stethoscope and pulled away, then listened again, turned him around and listened again.
She was listening to his wheeze. He still has it. She called it an inhalation wheeze. Since it is an inhalation wheeze and not and exhalation wheeze, she suspects that the issue is an anatomy issue and not a disease issue. The doctor insisted that the bronchoscopy is rescheduled. He must wait 3 more weeks as he is required to be over the RSV for 6 weeks before they can sedate him for the bronchoscopy. It is scheduled for February 14, as long as he does not get sick before then. Hopefully the scope will provide enough information so we can get to the bottom of all of this!
