Sleep Help Needed

This will be long so I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read it.
I need help! I have a 2.5 year old son with bilateral clubfoot. We are in BNB for naps and bedtime and I don’t necessarily have concerns with his boots and bar but more so with his sleep in general. He will not sleep longer than 3 hours by himself. When he wakes up, he will immediately cry and either look around and continue crying (worse and more) until we come into his room or he will get out of his bed (floor bed) and crawl around his room hysterically crying until we go in there. It’s currently 130am, my husband put him to sleep around 930pm, he woke up at 1130pm and I came into his room and ended up falling asleep with him until 1230am then I went back into our bed and he woke back up at 1am so here I am laying with him again. I do not believe in CIO, when he is upset he will cry so hard that his lips turn blue and he will stop breathing (I tend to do the same thing without realizing it) we aren’t completely against co sleeping especially if that means we all get sleep but of course we want him to sleep in his own bed and be comfortable in his room. Has anyone else gone through this with their child? Did it get better once they were completely out of BNB? I can count on 1 hand the amount of times he has completely slept through the night since being born, he was breastfed and ate every 3ish hours for the first year. He doesn’t fight us on his BNB unless his boots are getting too small and then we know something is wrong, he does have tubes in his ears but we were just at the ENT and they said everything looks perfect.
