One of my little ones had a severe case of collapsing trachea from the time she was little. When she would get very excited, her trachea would start to close, her temperature would rise, and that made the breathing become critical. I would submerge her in cool water to get her temperature down. It always worked, and then her breathing would return to normal. Gracie lived life fully, at full speed ahead, and she never let it stop her. Her sister Ashley developed trachea issues as she got older but it wasn't as serious. It caused her to have an enlarged heart, and she would get too much air into her belly that caused gas pockets. She lived a month shy of seventeen, even with all f this. Ashley walked at least a couple miles a day up until a few days before she passed away. I carried Gracie a lot of the way when we walked, and I always took blocks of ice along wherever we went in case I needed to get her temperature down. I wish you much health and love with your baby, and if I can help, don't hesitate to ask. |
