We try to keep him calm, watch his food intake and limit his activities.
Every case of CT is different, so you have to find what works for your baby. This is truly a nightmare. It is so hard watching him struggle to breath.
(Oh, if you have a lot of stairs, you may want to carry him up/down them. Prince would have an episode if we let him run up and down ours.) |
I'm so sorry to hear about Prince's severe case of collapsing trachea. Has he had this problem always, or has it grown worse over time?
Kasey is not yet five years old, and is very active. Loves to play and run, but gets into trouble when she's been barking too much (a real problem, when she sees big dogs, since she wants to eat them for lunch) or when her allergies act up.
