Laryngomalacia

All goes well with the kidlins, save one small complication. Apparently, Rob's discomfort while eating and periodic noisy breathing is a result of laryngomalcia, a delayed maturation of the supporting structures of the larynx (the epiglottis and/or arytenoid cartilages). Though there are rare cases that are cause for serious concern, laryngomalcia is apparently fairly common and takes care of itself as the child matures. Rob's facial contortions probably hurt me more than the laryngomalcia hurts him.
