Hi Gloria,

Thank you for your post. I am going to keep a close eye on her. She has been eating by mouth since her procedures and surgery 13 years ago so this is all new to us. I will make sure she sees the swallowing doctor regularly from here on out. He said he is not going to paint a rosy path for us for but he does seem optimistic. He is also at a CCC and teaching hospital and I am communicating with him regularly now.

Thank you!
Danielle
