It WILL get better, John. Everyone has days where it seems to take forever to see progress. You've had such good suggestions already. My son had a really tough time of it, too. It's a slow, slow process of trying different things to see what works. After the Magic Mouthwash quit working for my son, he tried something else and then when he returned to the MM, it started working again! Try to think of even the very small positive steps in the progress already made and concentrate on more of those happening. You will talk again! Just hang in there for a little bit.
