Yesterday, they were able to laser off adhesions from her trachea, and laser the back side of her vocal cords open.
However she is facing another surgery at a later date to permanently open the front of her vocal cords, as the specialist said that they abscessed while she was in MICU. Evidently, according to the specialist, whilst she had her original breathing tube down through her mouth whilst she was on the ventilator.
Those abscesses have turned to a bone consistency, and according to the specialist, he has never seen any miracle return to normality, no miracle recoveries to normal.
So he says she can choose to have her voice, and keep the trachea tube in her neck the rest of her life, or have the vocal cords cut open, via an incision in her neck and have a very weak whisper of a husky voice the rest of her life.
The good news is she won’t have to have her chin sown to her chest, since the major problem is with her voice box...
But!!! since he has said, he has never seen any miracle recoveries in this voice box problem before, you just know that God would love to show him one!

My heart and prayers go out to you and your daughter, Sarah. I have also been told that once arteries to the heart are totally blocked they never can clear up. I have been told that in so many words from fellow believers; what falshoods. They do not intentionally mean to discourage us, but are just trying to be "truthful".
But tell Sarah that we also know another truth! Psalm 103:2 " Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all of His BENEFITS~ He forgives all of our iniquities and HEALS ALL OF OUR DISEASES."
I am continuing to praise Him IN THE BATTLE, and DURING THE STORM and praising Him FOR THE VICTORY with a heart set on Him and His promises to me!
You are both in my prayers. God will be glorified and we are already sanctified because we are His; set apart and being transformed from glory to glory until that great day when we shall see Him face to face! What a day that will be!
