Hi All, Cole's trachea collapse has progressively gotten worse and worse to the point where we have tried everything to treat him medically. Surgery is the last and only option, which I plan to go through with this Tuesday because this is currently not the quality of life that Cole should be living. He is my baby and I am so scared and upset as I hear the stent surgery is generally successful at first, but has many complications. Any additional info that can be provided would be greatly appreciated!
