Jake, and we, have a busy week this week. Tomorrow, we go to see his ENT so she can check out his new jaw and have her first look at it. She’ll most likely want to do another scope, to check out the airway now that the jaw has been expanded, and most likely a MRI, just to make sure things look as they should! Hopefully, she have some idea as to when, if all looks good, we can possibly get the trach out!
Then, on Wednesday, we go to a speech therapist who specializes in Augmentative Communication Evaluations. That means that Jake will be evaluated on his ability to communicate and what assistive technology devices will help him communicate best. That’s not to say that he’s un-communicative now...quite the contrary!!! But, this will help him even more.
