Run, Run, Run,,,,breathe, breathe, breathe

Elizabeth completed her Pulmonary Function test while running on a treadmill yesterday. She was hooked up to a heart monitor, oxygen sat monitor and other monitors, then she started out walking on the treadmill to warm up. After a couple of minutes the speed and incline were increased. She ran for over 5 minutes before she made the signal that she had to stop. She explained that it felt like she could not inhale enough air and the right side of her chest hurt. The result will be ready later today. The doctor that was with Elizabeth during the test thinks that there might be more than just the airway issue goin on. She thinks the lungs are involved too and she will talk to Dr. Cotton about giving Elizabeth inhaled steroids to ease the pain she has in her chest during exercise. I'll post the results tomorrow.
