"Floppy Voice Box" and baby on Zantac, lol

Tweet

My daughter was making these strange "gasping noises" while she was sleeping, eating, crying, playing...kind of like she couldn't breathe, but she was still breathing & not turning blue or anything. So I took her to the doc who made us go to another doc who made us see yet another doc (I guess the first specialists were nervous about doing the tests on a 5 month old...) After holding the screaming baby while the doctor fished a tiny camera down her throat they confirmed the tissue on her vocal chords is "floppy" or not developed yet, so when she breathes in it kind of creates a vaccuum which results in the noise she was making. The doctor also suggested to put her on Zantac for reflux because most babies with the floppy voice box also have reflux, even if they don't spit up. I've go to say in only 2 days of using the Zantac, she is sleeping so muhc better! She only woke up once last night - I kept waking up to make sure she was still breathing! They want us to come back in a month to see how she is doing on the Zantac & to also confirm she doesn't have a hemangioma (type of birth mark that she has on her belly button) also growing in her throat below the vocal chords but they're 95% sure that this is the only problem. Anyone else ever hear of this or seen it in their kids? I've learned some new vocab words that I can't spell or pronouce, lol!
