Happy Holidays
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
Forgive the delay on my update for Baby John. John has been keeping us very busy @ a ; ) I want to anounence that John is home with his Mother and doing wonderfully. He was able to go home a few days before Christmas witch made for a blessed celebration. John has also had another Birthday. He is ten mo. now. John has two bottom teeth. He weights about 22 pounds. I want to send out my appreciation and gratitude to each and everyone for many prayers answered. To the wonderful Doctors and Nurses at Children Hospital.
Last but
not least to our Lord God for making every ones efforts
possible.
John is such a happy baby. Seems to be much more
than most. He has a smile for everyone. He seems to be adjusting very well
to his home life and enjoying his mother. John still has his Trach and
will for some time. But will grow out of it with time.
John still has tracheomalacia.
I want to wish every one Happy New Year. Until our next update Grace be with you and yours.

Tracheomalacia
Definition:
Tracheomalacia is a congenital (present at birth) weakness and floppiness of the walls of the trachea (main airway).
Overview, Causes, & Risk
Factors
Tracheomalacia occurs when the
cartilage in the trachea fails to develop or mature in a timely manner in
an infant or young child. This causes the wall of the
trachea to be floppy, rather than relatively rigid. Children with
tracheomalacia have noisy breathing (high-pitched sounds when breathing,
called stridor, and rattling noisy breaths) that becomes
even worse if they develop upper respiratory
infections.
Tracheomalacia generally resolves by itself. As the
tracheal cartilage strengthens and the trachea grows, the noisy
respirations and breathing
difficulties
cease.
