I'm concerned about Avery, again. All week her color has been "off". She is very pale. I kept attributing it to her battling this darn sinus infection, but the infection is basically gone and she is still paper white. My mom hadn't seen her in a few days (mom was in the hospital) and when she saw her it was the first thing that she said. I've also heard it from her babysitter and a very close friend. My sisters hadn't seen her since Labor Day weekend (they live out of town) and couldn't believe how different she looked. My mom suspects that she is working on one lung and I have to agree that it is a good possibility. They never redid an x-ray to confirm her lung reinflated because she was no longer wheezing and was so incrediably active at the hospital. She is getting pediasure everyday and eating like she always has (she's just not much of an eater, but she has never been pale like this). I'm going to call the ped. on Monday and request a chest x-ray and bloodwork. As much as I don't want to put her through anymore medical stuff right now, I know we have to. Even though she is healthy and active right now, if her lung isn't working properly we'll be behind the 8 ball the next time things go downhill.

I am sorry. I do know that feeling of not wanting to admit that it is time to call the doctor once again. I am praying Avery recovers soon. Poor little girl, this is so unfair to her. Keep us updated

JIll
Avery continues to be in my prayers. Her iron might be off due to the asthma meds. it does happen often and it does make a child look pale.
I also know many asthmatics that are pale

I have considered the iron issue and that is why I want to request blood work too. She does take a vitamin every day and also pediasure, so I think she is probably getting enough. I just want to get to the bottom of this.
