New Pics of Lindie and an Update on her 2nd Opinion

I finally took Lindie to the Studio for pictures.  Brian's favorite picture is the one on the top.  It looks like Cole has taught her some of his karate moves.

Wow.... Yesterday was a stressful day for Lindie and I.  We went to see Dr. Murray in Coppell for a second opinion about a hemangioma in her airway.  He was absolutely wonderful to us.  He spent a good 45 minutes to an hour with us.  He did another in office scope which was stressful but cool at the same time.  He had it hooked up to a camera and it was displayed on the TV in the room.  So I could see everything he was talking about.  He did get glimpses of below the vocal chords and he did not see anything.  He said he would scope her under anesthesia on Tuesday if I wanted to be absolutely sure  because the most common place for an airway hemangioma is subglottic.   Unless she was under anesthesia there is no way to be sure because he can't see past the vocal chords.  Brian and I agreed that if her symptoms get worse then we will opt for the scope under anesthesia.  Dr. Murray also said that kiddos with an airway hemangioma have a croupy cough and Lindie does not have this.  He also agreed with the first ENT who did a scope on her that her muscles may be underdeveloped causing the stridor and that she will likely outgrow this.  So that was all good news and we headed back home in the blizzard.  It took us 5 1/2 hours to get from Coppell to our house in Bridgeport.  We were stuck on 380 in one place for about 3 hours with no fresh bottles.  Lindie was a trooper and never even cried.    She just smiled while I cried.  I was freaked out to say the least.  It was so good to finally get home at 5:30.  Brian's dad had to pick Cole up from school early and Carson had to be picked up by Troy who works with Brian in Decatur.  Carson then got to spend some quality time with his namesake Wade.   It was good bonding time for the two of them.  Thank you all who helped with the kiddos and thanks to those of you who kept me calm on the phone while I was stuck in the blizzard.
