Well my wife has been home a week now and is doing great. Have had to make a few changes in our daily routines, but other than that it's ok. Still no word on what caused the issue, and, the last visit with all the doctors, surgeons, and specialist of various aspects available at U of M, they still had no idea and said it is very likely that they may never figure out what caused it. The blockage to her air way (trachea) is still there and will remain for quite some time, but they are discussing the possibility of reconstructive surgery in the future. If they can't do reconstructive surgery, or Dawn doesn't want it because it is a major surgery, then they may possibly go in and open the air way as much as possible with out total reconstruction. This would be just to maintain a path for air to flow so that she will retain her speech, as the blockage appears to be an ongoing process and they don't want her trachea to become completely closed. Thanks again everyone.
It is not about the equipment you have to use,
It is about how you use the equipment you have. :D
