Glenda and Anthony’s story

3 Jun 2012 | Parent's Stories

Anthony was my third child and after having a difficult time with my 2 daughters, I felt confident and relaxed about the thought of having another child.

Little did I know what was to come. It wasn’t long before Anthony was struggling with his feeds. He would drink and then gag and splutter, but because he was born with a floppy larynx (laryngomalacia), I just figured that was the problem. He also breathed extremely rapidly and this was also put down to the same problem (a bronchoscopy ultimately confirmed this diagnosis).
