Hello again, so I have a new concern and am wondering if anyone else has an opinion, my husband and I have been concerned about our son's "sunken chest" and I have recently come across the medical term Pectus excavatum. I didn't realize that this was something that is associated with PRS. We believe his was caused by weeks of struggling to breathe and his chest retracting as a newborn. He had oxygen sats in the 80's & 90's for weeks until they finally put him on oxygen. His chest is not deeply sunken but it is noticeable. Does anyone have any advice as to specialists, testing, or procedures associated with this? I appreciate you help 
Thank you,
Rachael
