Going back to see the nuerosurgeon

Alyvia's done well these past few days, she is off of her agitation medication and her walking is even better. Her breathing issues, however, are getting worse. She stopped breathing 3 times today and passed out each time. We still aren't sure why she does this. Sometimes she is only passed out for 10 seconds, and sometimes she is out much longer. She turns blue every time though, and it scares me to death every time she does it. Sometimes we have to use the bag and mask on her and sometimes she starts to breath again on her own. We still don't know if these are seizures or not...all I know is it is getting worse. Livie's pediatrician was pretty concerned so he talked to Livie's neurosurgeon down at Primary's and they both felt like Alyvia needs to be seen....tomorrow. So we are going back down to Primary Children's tomorrow where she will see her nuerosurg and have tests ran. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. I am hoping and praying that this isn't anything too big and that we can figure out whats going on....but then again if it is something big, I don't think I want to know. (Ignorance is bliss, right?) Hopefully this is just a little bump in the road. It hasn't stopped Livie from making daily progress and she continues to be her Livie self, and for that I am grateful.

I hope all goes well and that the neurosurgeon can find whatever is wrong and it can be easily resolved. I hope you had good luck today and that your trip can be a quick one.
