We took Zeph to see the eye/ear/throat doctor tonight and they diagnosed him with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laryngomalacia Laryngomalacia. We are so thankful that it is not a serious condition, does not need any treatment, and is usually outgrown as the child grows. I admit - I'm going to be annoyed until I can used to hearing his breathing sounds - and NOT thinking as a mommy that he sounds like he is sick and congested (not feeling like I want to help him "get better"). I still don't understand why Zeph breaths primarily through his mouth instead of his nose - maybe with the tiny bit of obstruction it's easier for him to breath through his mouth???
Anyways - I'm sure I'll have much more to share later on and more adorable pictures of our family and the kiddos. But for now I am going to try to take a little less time - not post every single day anymore - to free up more time and energy to put into our family right now. God Bless and stay tuned!
My little boy Erik was diagnosed with Laryngomalacia when he was born - he was immediately whisked away to have a bunch of tests done - he sounded so funky! Come to find out it was only laryngomalacia. It seriously does go away with time. Erik is now 7 and I only hear the stridor when he is crying very very hard.
