Today we finally begin the process of being referred to a pulmonologist for our son Braxton. Our son will visit Children's Mercy where we are very hopeful that they will be able to give us a course of treatment and a plan of action for our young son and his breathing difficulties and respiratory issues he's had.
As I look back on the past year and a half, I can't help but think of the hundreds of breathing treatments, the countless trips to the doctors office or urgent care center, the endless trips to Dillon's pharmacy, the several humidifiers we've gone through, and the many sleepless nights for our son. Braxton's doctor was hoping that he would outgrow all of this, but each time it's only gotten worse. Our last bout came during the Christmas break. After visiting the doctor's office three mornings in a row, and having to up his breathing treatments to every 2-4 hours, and barely making it through the nights without a trip to the hospital, the referral came.
We do not know what today will hold. But we do know that God never gives us more than we can bear. We have cast our cares upon the Lord and know that through it all we will be loved and nurtured by our loving Father. We are thankful for the talents and gifts that God has given the medical doctor's at Children's Mercy and pray that today we will get some much needed answers. We want to thank our family and friends for their love, support, and prayers they have shown our family. We truly are blessed to have each of you in our lives.
