This is a quote from all the doctors and any website that had info on laryngomalacia. Already at 12 months, Nolan was still having major breathing problems. He was a very happy boy, but he seemed to have sleep apnea at night. I first noticed it when he had to start going into our bed through the night and waking up from it at least three times a night. He had this old man snore and would inhale and get choked in his sleep....very scary to say the least! We went back to the ENT and by the time he was 18 months old, we had his adenoids taken out. When they took his adenoids out, they also performed a bronchoscopy and found that he also had tracheomalacia that was also interfering with his breathing. This surgery did not help his breathing, so we continued with the Prevacid and hoped it would eventually go away. The doctors also said that the tracheomalacia will go away. Well, it did not go away and with still have problems sleeping, sleep apnea, and choking on solid foods when 24 months old, the ENT decided to do the surgery for the laryngomalacia.
