Christian's Vocal Chords

Christian and I (plus Timmy and Katie) just got back from the Ear, Nose and Throat doctor. I think the hardest part for Christian was getting cotton put in his nose. It had stuff on it to numb his nose and throat (he was NOT happy when he learned he'd have to wait two hours to have lunch). That had to sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Then the doc put a small tube in his nose and looked at his vocal cords while Christian took several deep breaths. The doctor let me look and showed me how in the middle of a deep breath (just before exhaling), his vocal cords totally closed up. They should stay open. Next we have to go to a "breathing coach". Basically, he has to learn how to breathe using his diaphragm. So continues the saga...
