2 yr weak purple blue mouth and snoring.?
I have a set of 2 year old twin boys. The oldest and biggest of the twins has snored since he be born. Some times very loudly sometimes quite and sometimes not at all. He really isnt a large sleeper he wakes up relativly fast. I did catch him gasping for breath while sleeping a couple of weeks ago, and this morning he be still sleeping till 10 am so I got him up and he started to like gag choke for a second and hit lips be not the normal pink color it was like a outstandingly dull white purple blue color... not bright blue or purple just very thoroughly light. His skin color was also pal. After 15 mins his skin and lip color turned to common. What is up?

You need to speak with your pediatrician immediately. Your child may hold a sleep disorder that causes him to go apneic (stop beathing), periodically while he is asleep. A bluish/purple tint is a sign of reduced oxygen in the body and would manufacture sense if he is having apneic episodes overnight. He needs to be monitored and worked up to see whats going on. Please do no panic, but do not transport this lightly either.
Call the pediatrician now and tell them what is going on. This is serious. Your child is in grave menace.
