Thank you all. He is on a slow feed drip. They are trying another brand today. He was "backed up" due to all the pain meds and now is doing better. He didn't throw up last night or today at all. YEAH! A speech therapist there is putting David's wife in contact with a man who had his entire tongue removed about 1 1/2 years ago and is speaking well today. DOUBLE YEAH! I know with all my heart that if it physcially possible David will regain his speech. Their little girl is with them. She got to meet "Pedro", a puppet who had a treach and an I.V. The conselor unwrapped the bandages on the puppet's neck and explained David's surgery to her. Yesterday David coughed and she jumped up and grabbed the suction tube and started cleaning around his treach, like she had seen us do. Kids are amazing.
Best wishes to all.
