Jonathan's Stridor

I wrote this on October 17th, but never posted it. Time for me to play catch up!

I ran across this video last night. How quickly I had forgotten what it was like to hear Jonathan's rapid, stridorous breathing 24 hours a day...awake or asleep. He's actually breathing slowly in the video (which didn't happen often when he was younger).
I remember a nurse at Children's Hospital telling me that there would come a point when his noisy breathing would be less of a concern than when I couldn't hear him breathe at all. How true that was! And now, we are blessed to watch him breathe so easily that his Laryngomalacia is rarely even a thought. The only time we hear it these days is when he is very active or laughing really hard.

I am so grateful for our children...SO grateful. Thank you Jesus for your protection over each one of them!
