Hey Chandra - great to hear that you're doing so well after all you've been through. Awesome that you're getting speech therapy - there is a lot of potential for progress! Do the exercises the SLP tells you to do - several times a day, every day.

The exercises can do SOOOOO very much in terms of gaining strength and ROM (range of motion) for your tongue/lips/cheeks/ throat which could improve speech quality and eating!!!
