Dylan update

I was excited to find that a pediatric allergist from the Children's Hospital in Philadelphia - one of the best - has an office nearby.

I've been waiting for two months to take Dylan, and her first appointment was today - not a moment too soon. She has really suffered this spring. On top of her other symptoms, she's had a persistent cough, especially when running around.

Unfortunately, the tests today showed that she has developed asthma. The doctor is hopeful that it will be seasonal, and will only act up when her allergies are at their worst. We'll have to wait and see.

The good news is that the doctor was great. I really liked her. She was very thorough and was great with Dylan. She will monitor Dylan more frequently and adjust her treatment accordingly. I feel better about that. Especially now that our poor girl will have yet another medication to take twice a day.

Dylan's one question: Does this mean I'll have to give up swinging?
It's really the little things that mean so much.
