The problem, as it stands.

 

 This is a picture of a normal airway from a scope.  Here's the highlights of what you are looking at:

1=vocal cords, 2=vestibular fold (false vocal cords), 3=epiglottis,
5=arytenoids, 7=base of the tongue

This is Micah's airway, a similar picture but a little wider shot.  You might be able to guess what some of our problems are... Namely the size of his tonsils (at the bottom), the shape of his epiglottis, and that big white spot on the upper left...   Oh, and the fact you can't even see his cords or false cords.

There's a little ENT lesson for you.
