Kaylee and Doc ENT

Today was Kaylee's appointment with the ENT. Good news: my Pediatrician gave us a correct diagnosis. Bad news: the ENT had to put a little camera up Kaylee's nose and down her throat to confirm so said diagnosis.
Somewhat side note, did you know your throat kinda looks like a flower, an orchid perhaps (minus the pretty colors)
Now we are going to have to go to the hospital and have a clinical swallow evaluation. And my novice understanding of this procedure is you bring in the kids food, they can watch her eat and/or put some dye in it and x-ray her eating to make sure she is swallowing properly and that no milk or food is going down the wrong tube.
The reason for all this is because Kaylee has had a raspy sounding breath for a long while coupled with her reflux and now her bronchitis sounding chokes we wanted to investigate further. More updates to follow.
