Hope's Visit With the Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist

Last week Hope had her appointment with an Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist. The doctor did a scope through her nose and down into her airway. After the scope (which our little girl did not like one bit!) the doctor determined that Hope has an immature muscle in her larynx (There is a medical term for this, but I don't remember the exact term.). Because of this, she makes quite a rattling sound when she breathes. Apparently this issue should take care of itself. Hope just needs to keep maturing and getting bigger and stronger. Hope was also diagnosed with Acid Reflux and needs to have Zantac twice a day. Needless to say, we felt really good about how the appointment went and are thrilled to know that there is nothing serious going on with Hope. We have a follow-up appointment with the ENT doctor in August.
