Hi Kat,

  We keep an eye on this with Amber because she had Hyaline Membrane
Lung condition when she was born - so her lungs are more fragile. Did he
ask if you were a preemie? If so - it would make sense - if not he
making a generalization. I wouldn't worry. You have surgery before.

OK OK I admit it - I'm a bit of a hypochondriac.  I went to my preop 
screening today and passed with flying colours - blood pressure, checck,

heart, check, oxygen saturation, check, etc etc.  But then the screening

doc asked me if my surgeon had asking for a pulmonary function test and 
I said, no, he hadn't.  Then the doctor floored  me by saying I should 
get one because I have CP and they think it's important to keep tabs on 
lung function in CP adults as they get older.

Have any of you guys come across this?  Now I'm worried about pulmonary 
failure!

Kat
