A Mothers View: Kristie

REMEMBER THAT YOU WERE GIVEN THIS LIFE BECAUSE YOUR STRONG ENOUGH TO LIVE IT.

By the time Noah was 10 months old, our pediatrician recommended recording Noah at night time. Night time was when his Stridor was the worst, and he was a very restless sleeper. Sometimes I still think to myself why did I not record him sooner. Then I realize, THINGS DO HAPPEN FOR A REASON.

So I did. I recorded Noah's noisy breathing. The next day I made another appointment with his pediatrician. Once his doctor heard the recording, ( I will never forget his words,) "Kristie, Noah has Laryngomalacia. I do not know the severity of it. I will however, refer Noah to a Pediatric Pulmonologist ASAP." I left there that day in shock. Seriously, what is, LARYNGOMALACIA?

Why are we going to a pulmonologist?

This was actually one of the best days of my life. FINALLY, I had been heard. We had a partial diagnosis, and we were going to see a specialist.
