Hello everyone, I just ran across this msg. board and I wanted to touch base with some people that may be able to help me thru some tough times and help me understand a few things. My wife and I spent the weekend in the hospital because my son Carson has these "episodes" where he appears that he is choking and can't catch his breath. He turn bright red, eyes water, he gets stiff and he waves his arms in what appers to be "desperation" to breathe. The Dr. told us that he thought it was reflux and during the hospital stay, he didn't have one episode. Now we have been home just one day and he is already starting them up again. The Dr. put Carson on Prevacid oral liquid for him to help with the reflux. He passed a 24 hour sleep apnea test with flying colors and everything else came up ok with his upper GI and other swallowing tests. Has anyone else ever heard of these "episodes"? They are VERY scary and most of the time we have to suction his nose and mouth out just for him to get air! Anything anyone can pass along would be helpful. Thanks for your time.
Steve
