An apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) is defined as an episode that is frightening to the observer and is characterized by some combination of apnea (central or obstructive), color change (cyanotic, pallid, erythematous or plethoric) change in muscle tone (usually diminished), and choking or gagging. In some cases, the observer fears that the infant has died.
As many of you know, Kayden is having seizures due to his severe reflux, he goes blue at the lips, stares into space, limp & floppy & gasps for air. We have to do various different things to get him breathing again.
The only way to describe this is...it is as if he is dying.
Yes it is as scary as it sounds & im absolutely terrified.
The meds helped for a while but we may never have a way around this.
Please help!
