Three of my dearest friends have had serious airway challenges throughout their lives. Each has leaned in to get care, including surgery, to open up their breathing, their airways, their lives. It’s an extraordinary thing to witness – and the journey they each had to take started with living with the issue, then, over years, […]
April Hutzler
Hello, my name is April Hutzler. I have idiopathic tracheal stenosis, and this is my story. In 2005 I began feeling a little short of breath upon any kind of exertion.

My daughter had difficulty breastfeeding as an infant, had speech fluency, bruxing, non-nutritive sucking habit, swallowing and digestive issues for 17 years. Two years ago I read Tongue Tied by Richard Baxter and recognized my daughter’s symptoms in the pages. She has since had myofunctional therapy, […]

Had my first jaw surgery – MARPE and braces. Should have MMA later this year. Can already breathe and sleep better.
