Tracheomalacia

Had an appt with the ENT this morning and little miss Emmalee has been diagnosed with Tracheomalacia (https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/426003-overview) It is something she was born with. You may have noticed she has a barky cough. We have noticed her gasping for air, coughing, etc. they stuck a scope down her nose today. There could be an obstruction, a cyst or collapse of her trachea. She is scheduled for a diagnostic procedure next Tuesday morning. She will be put under and may need to stay over night. They will most likely be putting in a balloon or stent. If there is a cyst, they will remove it at a later surgery date.
