OMG, how do you get any sleep. You poor thing.
I am just learning that my son may have astham.

(((hugs))) to you. :hug:

I was just told that it could be floppy airway problem with Caleb and he does the same thing as yours does. You might check this. We are having the same problems only we just had the reflux surgery to correct the reflux and it is still happening. I dont know the real name for it but that is what they told me about an hour ago. I hope it helps you in some way!

LOL Nat I wish I had read this first as it describes what I was asking before perfectly.

I was just going to say 20 infections to me sounds like some serious reflux complications. Did they check if he was aspirating yet?

Rachel, I'm glad that you are on, this poor girl has been asking questions that I can not answer, all of my responses have been "I don't know, but I will try to find out"

LOL sorry Nat, but we do have people that know what they are talking about. Rachel for one!;-)
