Well the doctors told us that she would have to depend on the feeding tube indefinitly also. They also told us that she may need to keep the traech, and that has since been removed-so there is still hope! She met with speech therapy both in the hospital and after she was released. She was certain that she was able to move the flap, however they looked inside and told her that she was not moving it.

Has anyone had a video swallow? That is the next step in the speech therapy process. Just curious what that entails.
