Just a quick update for all of you who have been praying for us today. Dave and I took Malachi downtown for the sweat test this morning. They did the test but unfortunately they burned/blistered his arm and then he didn't sweat enough to actually cause the test to be successful. So, no diagnosis and no test results today. We have to wait until his arms heal and then repeat the test.
After the sweat test, I was pretty much a mess. I think I probably cried more than Malachi. We decided to head up a couple floors and visit the specialist we saw last week. Because of Malachi's terrible cough and wheezing, Dr. Elliot got us in to see a pediatric pulmonologist almost immediately. Kathleen is her name. She was so amazing! She spent almost 2 hours with us. Eventually, she gave Cai a breathing treatment which seemed to open up his lungs quite nicely. So, until his little arms heal, my job is to give him breathing treatments at least 4 times a day. Praying that these will help ease his little lungs and help him breathe and in turn, help him sleep!
Thank you all for praying! We will continue to be patient and wait on Him not only for answers for Malachi but for the strength to glorify Him each day, no matter what the circumstances.
