Lets talk Laryngomalacia

Hello! It is almost National airway defect awareness day! July 10th we are asking friends and family to pain their nails light blue to spread awareness of this infant defect. Pj was born at 37 weeks. He was small, but strong. Everything seemed fine, until they came in and said his breathing  was too fast and we couldn't hold him. That was the start to our journey. He couldn't gain weight, and he made awful sounds of gasping and screeching. He would choke and turn blue. Our pediatric dr wasn't sure what was going on. Thankfully a perfect stranger on a Facebook page suggested a condition called Laryngomalacia. I brought it up and Pj was taken to a Pediatric ENT (ear,nose,throat) He was amazing. He took one look down Pj's airway, and Pj was immediately scheduled for surgery 2 days later. He is now almost 1yr old and doing well. He is walking and starting to be on the growth chart! This defect could have been critical had it not been caught. I'm so thankful for our angel and now hoping to get word out to help other babies. So please, July 10th paint your nails light blue!
