They ran many tests on Maggie to determine why she stopped breathing... As soon as she was admitted to the hospital she was put on antibiotics in case of an infection..jpg)
She was seen by a neurologist, who gave her a clean bill of health
She was given a PH Probe Test and a Sleep Test-
She had a 24 hour Heart Monitor-
Also, 2 EEG's

ALL these tests came back negative for any problems!
It wasn't until we had Nurse Laurel (a true gift from God!)
that we were able to make the doctors hear us!

We were still concerned about that raspy "honking" noise that Maggie was making. She made that noise the night she stopped breathing and she continued to make it while in the hospital. We felt strongly that the noise had something to do with her trouble, but the doctors just didn't hear us! Finally, Nurse Laurel took it upon herself to talk to the Resident doctor about it. She even gave Maggie's noise a name- called Stridor

Maggie was given a Broncoscopy and the results came back with a diagnosis for Laryngomalacia (basically she had a floppy windpipe) It was something that would gain strength with time.
