Update: Jo's wheezing - the diagnosis.

Jo finally has a diagnosis for her wheezing and shortness of breath. 

After having X-rays, echo and electro cardiograms, CT scan, pulmonary functions and blood work over the last two months she has Stridor emanating from her trachea in the neck, likely caused when she was intubated during her jaw surgery a few years ago.  The treatment will not be known until she has a neck X-ray to get a better picture of where the narrowing is. 

Until treated she has to take it easy and she can dump the inhalers.

Good news!
