Michaela - Thank you so much! I looked after I posted my question and then tried to get DD to lift up her shirt and breath for me, of course that resulted in laughing and poking her belly out and running around giggling! I'll keep trying though. She is definitely very adaptive, her coughing does not slow her down one bit! I am hopefully going to make it to the lab tomorrow with her, and then when we meet back up with the Ped I'll ask about a respirologist. We don't actually need a referral for our insurance, but I like to get recommendations from the ped's office - they've been great so far. And this particular pediatrician I am loving a ton. The last pediatrician was the one who repeatedly dismissed my calls of concerns regarding lingering coughs, and who dismissed the idea that anything was wrong with my DS. Boo to her!
