He was one week late and was an induced delivery that ended in an emergency c-section.&nbsp; The moment they placed him on my chest, I knew he wasn't breathing deep breaths. He seemed to be struggling...as though he were drowning. They suctioned and suctioned with no relief. For the next 2.5 weeks we spent time in our birth hospitals NICU. The entire time the doctors/nurses tried to diagnose him...forgetting to 'treat' his presenting problem. His breathing. For 17 days he underwent test after test while struggling to breath.</p> </div><p><a href="http://www.trachkids.org/members/419">read more</a></p> http://www.trachkids.org/members/419#comments Male North America Central Line CHARGE Syndrome Deaf G-Tube Laryngomalacia Tracheomalacia Thu, 05 Jun 2008 18:31:22 -0400 Tyler Matthew 425 at http://www.trachkids.org
