After having pneumonia twice in a three month period, my pediatrician recommended that I take DD (27 months old) to a pulmonary specialist. My pediatrician is thinking she may have asthma and she received steroid and asthma treatments to help keep her oxygen levels up while being treated for pneumonia. Poor thing had been hospitalized for a week on oxygen support the first time, but this time the medicines really helped and her levels were good. She seemed to respond to all the medicines given through the nebulizer. Also, we are waiting for lab results for blood work to check on my daughter's immune system and blood cells. This is my first child and my first time going through all of this, so I am a little nervous. Also, I may be doing too much research online and freaking myself out more! Has anyone else been through this? What did the pulmonary specialist suggest? Thanks!
