Yesterday, Bill & Justin met with a laryngologist that works with opera singers, etc. He is in the medical center and evidently worked on Barbara Streisand and some other famous singers.
It was a very interesting visit and he feels that he can get Justin's voice back in shape. He is going to work with the doctor in Memphis to come up with the best plan. He feels that Justin needs to get on the therapy as soon as possible for the swallowing and has a plan for that, as well. I have been in touch with a speech center this morning to get things going.
It is early out from the surgery, being 2 weeks from major removal of tumor and less than 2 weeks from vocal cord surgery. There is still healing going on. Justin is plugging along, staying at his own place.
Continued prayers are welcome as Justin begins a difficult journey of rehab.
PS--I want to make sure that everyone understands that there were 2 tumors. They were benign. The largest one was removed and the smaller one will be eradicated with one shot of radiation, gamma knife radiation.
