Wee-Ones Wednesday: Good News!

This amazing girl is potty training herself too. 

God is so good! I feel like we've had our prayers answered in the best possible way! I know that God's plan is not my own, and I've always believed God knows what he is doing. Yet, I'm only human, (and I'm making myself a little vulnerable here) so I sometimes think my plan is the best plan. Ridiculous, I know.
Anyhow, you probably remember our Iris spent 6 out of 16 days in the hospital back in February and early March. It was very scary to see our little Miss hooked up to oxygen and an IV. She has had one episode since, but we now have the medication and education to treat her symptoms until we can get her to the doctor's office.

Iris finally had her appointment with the allergy/asthma specialist last week. She was so amazing and cooperative. Her new doctor said she broke a record and was the youngest patient to do the breathing test that measures oxygen output! Dr. Cocke spent about an hour with us explaining what is happening to her little body. She drew us pictures and explained how allergies usually start in the skin, move to the nose and eyes, and end up with an asthma attack when the child is around five. Since Iris' episodes were so severe and happened at such a young age, she will probably out grow her asthma! The doc wanted to be sure, so a (horrible)  blood test was ordered. The blood test came back negative for allergies yesterday. Whoohoo! That doesn't mean that the next time she gets a cold, she won't turn blue again. And it doesn't mean she is all better, but it is great news.
In the meantime, our little trooper will still take 2 breathing treatments a day (maybe for years) and she needs an Epipen near her at all times (in case her bronchial tubes decide to close up on her)... but this may not be a life sentence, and that is something to celebrate!
