Brian Matthew



Brian is my snuggle bunny. He loves to be held right now. Most of you know he has had a lot of problems with his breathing. He had a bronchoscopy on Feb 26th. He was officially diagnosed with tracheolaryngomalacia... big word. Basically means his airway is immature. It should clear up on its own by 18 months old. We are still following up with Pulmonologist. He is having a sleep study done on Saturday April 4th to see if he has sleep apnea due to his floppy airway. Also, on April 7th he will have a upper GI Barium swallow to test for reflux. The doctor wants to make sure he doesn't have it because it can prolong the floppy airway from correcting itself. If both of those test come back okay he wants to test him for Cystic Fibrosis since I am a carrier of the DeltaF508 gene. Other than that he is growing like a weed. He is chunky like Jaicee was.
