Medical Spas in Decatur

“Dr. Light quite literally saved my sons life. I shudder to even think what could have happened if we didn’t see him when we did. My almost 4 year old was born at 35 weeks and immediately had to be intubated. Nobody really ever told us why he had so much trouble breathing. He was intubated for 14 days and spent 18 in the NICU. He has never sounded normal when breathing. He was scoped at 3m by another ENT and diagnosed with laryngomalacia- “noisy breathing”. That dr said it should be resolved by the time he turned 2 or he may need surgery. His symptoms got a little better for a while then quickly got worse. They were also very different the older he got. I didn’t know what was wrong but I knew something was and I told numerous drs I wanted him to see an ENT again because something told me it was in his throat. When he played or even walked fast he would get winded so fast and breathe rapidly. When he slept he made high pitched squealing noises and had stridor in his neck. But sitting on the exam table he always appeared completely normal. “His lungs are fine. He’s fine” I heard that a million times. I started taking videos to prove what I was seeing and asked every NP and Dr he saw over 3 years to just please refer us to an ENT. None of them saw a need and made me feel like I was nuts. His pediatrician kept wanting to try other things. He treated him for asthma- which did nothing. He gave his steroids which helped a bit but not for long. Eventually we saw another Dr in the same office and she finally listened to me and sent us to Dr. Light. As soon as he walked in the room and I started spilling off all of these symptoms and showing him the videos he knew my son had Subglottic Stenosis- narrowing of the windpipe; usually caused by scar tissue related to a trauma, in his case (and most) being intubated. He explained how serious this was and that we needed to go to Children’s in Birmingham to have him scoped ASAP. Within 2 weeks we were there for the initial appt. They decided to sedate him to scope him and if they found anything they would fix it the same day. You can only imagine our shock and surprise when the Dr came in after the surgery and told us he was a Grade 3- 90% closed. To put that into perspective he said Grade 4 is 100% closed and is incompatible with life. My poor baby was breathing trough a hole only 10% as big as it should have been. They dilated his airway that day. That was almost 3 weeks ago. Immediately after surgery I could tell a huge difference in his breathing. We go back in 2 days to have it done again and will possibly need it a 3rd and/or 4th time. He will never be 100% open but we hope he will get close. Dr. Light knew right away what no less than 5 Dr’s and idk how many NP’s we’ve seen over the years had no clue about. Without his knowledge my poor baby would still be struggling to breathe and I would still be standing beside his bed every night checking his oxygen with a pulse ox on his tiny little finger. I can’t thank him enough because I don’t know how much longer we would have had before it narrowed even more and something horrible happened. I cry just thinking about the possibilities. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr. Light for saving my baby.“
