CT Scan – no problems
Pulmonary function test – nothing (even recalibrated the machine to make sure it was reading correctly). Inhaler – didn’t help at all
Swallow test – not scheduled, yet. Just need to rule out any issues.
Possible diagnosis when everything else is ruled out: Vocal Cord Dysfunction (VCD)
Zayne thought the CT scan was fun, but didn’t like the Pulmonary Function Test since it made her very tired. Also, needed to rule out the inhaler so she had to go through the “burning” pain of using the inhaler and proving that it doesn’t help at all.
Walking around improved in the afternoon, so were were released. Her oxygen level is always high, so that isn’t a concern. Zayne is still tired and having more breathing issues – mostly making sounds when breathing in, so maybe it is VCD? We’ll be back in the hospital for more outpatient work.
I was really proud of her for walking out of the hospital and nearly making it to the car. She only used the wheelchair for a short distance.
