Oh Vicky, I know how worried you are. Hang in there hon. I pray everything will be ok with Bleu boy! I have been on a constant worry cycle with my 2 girls it's just hard when we worry constantly it interferes with every waking second of the day. It gets me down and really depressed not knowing all the answers to our issues but all I can do is keep praying. It doesn't help though, I still worry myself sick, I just cannot help it. I feel for you, I really do. I KNOW how much you LOVE your baby. and i know how much you are worrying yourself sick. Blue boy is sooooooooo lucky to have you!

I wanted to ask you about Blue's color. Do his gums or tongue turn greyish or purple when he is having these attacks? My little Samie turns blue when I give her a bath. It's the after the bath that gets her all crazy excited to the point where she can't breath and then in slow motion she puts her head down and gasps and when I see her tongue it's grey/purplish and the underside of her tongue - two very dark stripes on both sides of her tongue dark dark blue.. scares me so bad. My heart races and my i break out in a sweat she gets me so scared. I put the blow dryer down and we stop until she settles down. I know she is happy to be all nice and clean but her baths are every 3 mos. for now. this next bath in a few weeks we are going to video tape her.

The specialist we are seeing says it could be ct or something called larygeal paralysis. when i find the link on this i will send it to you. It couldn't hurt checking it out. also our specialist told us that the only way to tell if there is any collapsing anywhere is to do a "scope" and go in and make her cough, something with giving her saline solution to get her to cough and take images. It's about a 800.00 procedure for this test. right now we are monitoring her episodes. I strongly believe she has allergies and the drainage gets her coughing. bc her nose and eyes are runny when this coughing happens.

it's scary I know, I am praying for you and bleu boy! I'll be thinking of you and checking back. :-) hang in there ok.
