We had a follow up doctor's appointment for Jarrett's breathing yesterday. His breathing hasn't improved very much, so the doctor recommends we do a scope of his throat to rule out another condition, which is narrowing of his trachea. If they find that it is not the narrow trachea, and is just the "noisy breathing", then Jarrett will just grow out of it. But, if they do find that he has a narrow trachea, they will surgically stretch his trachea with a laser by simply removing some skin/tissue at that time. She said that he will have no long term effects and it should correct his breathing fairly quickly. Jarrett will have to be sedated for the scope procedure, so needless to say Justin and I are a little anxious about it. We don't know when the doctors are going to do the procedure yet, we have to call and make an appointment with the Ears, Nose and Throat doctor on Monday.
We just wanted to keep everyone updated. We will post again when we know when Jarrett's procedure will be done.
