I am so sorry for your frustrating on going battle. Please know friend that I am praying for you outside this ring of fire that encompasses you. <BR/><BR/>I know you know that as you stand tested and tried you shall not be burned, our Father is there, right by your side. He knows and will direct your path to get the answers you seek. It's hard when is seems we keep hitting those dead ends, but perservere, do not grow weary, daily lay the battle at His feet and draw your strength from Him before each appointment. <BR/><BR/>I was just reading the book by Dr. Sues "Oh the places you'll go" to my boys and its true we will indeed walk all kinds of paths in our life... But out Lord and Savior has already walked them before us and is with us and waiting for us at the end of each turn!<BR/><BR/>My heart is with you, please give my sweet angel a hug and many kisses for me. <BR/><BR/>I am praying for strength, steadfastness and peace for these next few turns down this pathway.<BR/><BR/>TamTamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876154179230948474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-739971891215576234.post-15807155597530984702008-10-19T19:12:00.000-05:002008-10-19T19:12:00.000-05:00Does Annabell still have her tonsils?

The other thing I wonder is if the back of her airway is getting kind of "floppy" so she doesn't breath well. An ENT may be helpful if you can't see the pulmonologist soon. I wish I had great answers for you Kathy, but I will definitely pray like crazy!<BR/><BR/>Love, Dr BrownAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-739971891215576234.post-63875040961573482932008-10-19T13:01:00.000-05:002008-10-19T13:01:00.000-05:00Praying, praying, praying!Hoping improvements are ...Praying, praying, praying!<BR/>Hoping improvements are all ready being seen!<BR/>Love,<BR/>KathyKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662891218967597030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-739971891215576234.post-39509349342657379192008-10-19T10:44:00.000-05:002008-10-19T10:44:00.000-05:00We will be praying for answers and healingWe will be praying for answers and healingJennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09605537112077617762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-739971891215576234.post-85657019883689421032008-10-19T08:44:00.000-05:002008-10-19T08:44:00.000-05:00Annabel you poor thing!! i am praying that you get...Annabel you poor thing!! i am praying that you get back to your sweet ole self soon!!

I am frustrated for you and will be praying for some solid answers here. Asking the Lord to keep her safe and for you to have peace in your heart. This is such a hard road you travel, but I know you do it with the love of a mothers heart. I know He holds her in His hands and pray that He keeps her safe and heals this problem. I love you Cathy and I will keep praying my friend.<BR/><BR/>Laurie in Ca.Laurie in Ca.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15599832324966859946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-739971891215576234.post-60149328947843293062008-10-18T15:07:00.000-05:002008-10-18T15:07:00.000-05:00Cathy-I'm so sorry for the lack of answers, the ob...Cathy-<BR/>I'm so sorry for the lack of answers, the obvious and understandable frustration, and what appears to be a nonchalant attitude about all that is going on. This worries me so much... but I have to remember, as we both know full well, this is in the Lord's hands. I completely think that someone should be able to provide a certain amount of clarity and come up with a plan-of-action so you know where you are heading... but again as we know, that often doesn't mean it will happen. <BR/><BR/>Please know that there are SO MANY praying for you guys, praying for sweet, adorable Annabel and for her healing.<BR/><BR/>So much love and prayer... and if there IS anything I can do from a bed here in Houston, please let me know :)<BR/><BR/>Love you!<BR/>KenzieKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00658597453777391189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-739971891215576234.post-25920124665453738332008-10-18T14:50:00.000-05:002008-10-18T14:50:00.000-05:00P.S.

Sounds like anemia big time. <BR/><BR/>So relieved you are on her side and I know you will do your very best to make sure that this puzzle gets figured out - and quickly! <BR/>You may need to get very demanding and make some strong comments in order to get in to see the specialists you need. <BR/><BR/>What about contacting that doctor that you know and love so much that really advocates for special children like Annabel? Maybe he can give you some direction.<BR/>There are variables you are working with but it seemed to all start with the storm's damage so I think the air quality must very much affect Annabel's little lungs.<BR/><BR/>Know many, many prayers have, are and will be lifted for you and your wonderful family. Prayer for wisdom, medical answers and prompt, correct medical treatment. Strength for you and restored health for Annabel!<BR/>We need to see that beautiful smile on her face that is soooooo<BR/>contagious!<BR/><BR/>Love you girls!<BR/>KathyKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662891218967597030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-739971891215576234.post-13343160667685516422008-10-18T13:45:00.000-05:002008-10-18T13:45:00.000-05:00I'm so sorry that Annabel continues to not feel we...I'm so sorry that Annabel continues to not feel well and that no answers brings about such frustration!

Showing the difficulty and the frustration this journey brings is what makes your blog authentic and healing. <BR/><BR/>You are fighting the good fight, don't give up! Your search for answers will eventually bring you the right one, and your blog may provide someone who finds themselves in a similar situation in the future with a quick answer! <BR/><BR/>Information is power, and the sharing that all the mothers do on the blogs is such a beautiful thing!

The anemia ...Cathy,<BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry she is struggling. The anemia sounds as though it needs to be addressed. Is her hemoglobin low on her labs? The pale color and lack of energy and the need for oxygen could all be related. When Ash is low on blood she has the exact same symptoms. The blood carries oxygen to the body and if she is anemic this may be part of the problem with her need for increased oxygen support. I don't know if this helps, but I wanted to encourage you to keep pressing them for answers. It sounds as though they are confused. I'm thinking of you girls today and I will pray for some direction and answers. God bless, my friend.
