This is all brand new for us. She's had problems with breathing over the past year, especially when ill. This time she was sick, had pneumonia, needed to be intubated for the past week, then they did surgery this morning. They did find that her airway was extremely collapsed, and has a very narrow opening in it.</p> </div><p><a href="http://www.trachkids.org/members/1207">read more</a></p> http://www.trachkids.org/members/1207#comments Female North America One Asthma collapsed airway obesity Sleep Apnea Thu, 17 Sep 2009 19:45:08 -0400 kctwinmommy 1270 at http://www.trachkids.org
