Today was Tanner's appointment with an ear, nose and throat specialist at Boys Town. Our pediatrician referred us to the specialist to find out why Tanner's breathing is sometimes noisy.
Waiting for the doctor.
In case you've never heard Tanner make his noises here's a video I took.The specialist had to insert a small tube with a camera attached to it down Tanner's nose. Poor Tanner!! He screamed and kicked. It was so heart-breaking but the doctor was able to come up with a diagnosis. Tanner has Laryngomalacia which is a big word that just means floppy tissue and soft cartilage around his voice box/larynx. This is a common condition in babies and it's not harmful and he will outgrow it. We're so relieved it's nothing serious!!!
