No. If you child’s symptoms are worsening, then you should begin the steps to have him evaluated and begin planning for surgery immediately, but correcting the chest is NEVER an emergency. This is a procedure that can be planned. Take your time. Find a good doctor, and prepare yourself and child for the procedure. We never feel the need to rush anyone into this surgery.
