Leigh Anne,

My youngest son spent 30 days in the PICU at Johns Hopkins Children Center when he was 2 1/2 months old. He was born with Congenital Subglotic Stenosis. When he was just 3 weeks old he was making these loud goose like sounds when he breathed in or cried. I have 2 other children so I knew something was wrong. I had him at the pedestrians’ office everyday and they kept telling me he’s fine he has a cold. Finally I got through to the doctor. She sent us to another doctor who referred use to Doctor Emily Boss an Pediatric ENT. Finally! She set up an MRI after complications from the MRI they did a scope in the operating room. She diagnosed him with Congenital Subglotic Stenosis. (narrowing of his airway, below his vocal cords)He remained on a breathing tube for four days until they did surgery they did a cricoids split, she took cartilage from his thyroid and made his air way larger. ( his airways was the size of angel hair pasta) He had to remain on the breathing tube for another 7 days so his airway could heal. That also lead to some other complications. However today he is a HAPPY Healthy 20 month old! Johns Hopkins holds a very special place in my and my husbands heart. The Doctors and Nurses there are amazing people.  I’d like to donate the $25.00 from the Tuohy Trivia to Johns Hopkins Children’s Center or The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Baltimore Inc.

Thank you so much.
