Guess Who’s Speaking!!!

Cindy has a speaking valve – called a Passy-Muir valve “installed” and can now “speak”.

This is Cindy’s trachea with the Passy-Muir Valve.

Today Cindy had Physical and Speech Therapy. She did very well with both. The Physical Therapist says she is getting stronger.

The Pulmonary Doctor continues to wean her off the trachea.
