Hello, my daughter has what they have classified as Restrictive Airway Disease. They really don't know what the problem is though. She was sick a LOT during her first year, diagnosed with Bronchiolitis three times, and her pediatrician also told me that she sounded fine at several visits. Then I had her evaluated by Early Intervention and their ped picked up on the crackle in her lungs. She's been seeing a Pulmonary Specialist since May of last year, and has been on daily breathing treatments since June. She takes Pulmicort now, but has had to take Albuterol and an oral steroid at times. This past winter has been much better than her first, and her Dr. is hopefully going to take her off the treatments later this month. However, she continues to have the crackle in her lungs. She had him completely stumped, he suspects that it may be due to the fact that her bmother exposed her to alcohol, marijauna, and tobacco while pregnant. He talked to another specialist who told him that he has seen a few of these cases and they do tend to get better (rather than worse) over time. Dd has to watch one of her favorite videos to sit through her treatments too.
