Thanks very much--I will ask the SLP about this at his next appointment. Yesterday when he attempted even a few of the exercises he was given, he threw up. But today went a little better. I'm not sure if it would have better or worse to know how challenging the post-treatment phase is upfront, but here we are confronting it now. Very encouraged by all the stories and resilience I've been reading on this forum.
