We met with Clintons Dr. today and we are heading down the surgery road to correct the Vocal Cord Paralysis.  The right Vocal Cord is moving and working well.  The left - not so good.  We decided to go with the surgery thats uses the rib cartlidge which opens the airway about 3mm - this is just enough for Clinton to breath on his own without the trach!!  We dont have the official date yet but - we're hoping that they will be able to schedule the surgery next week and than we will let Clinton heal for a few weeks and if all is well - BYE BYE TRACH!!!   This is a long awaited day for us - way too long!
