Update from Jan 28, 2009
I had more photos taken of my vocal cords this morning and the news is good. My left vocal cord is healing. We saw definite improvement in the size and color of the hemorrhage. This means that my voice rest is working. Unfortunately, that is really all we can know for right now. I am to remain on strict vocal rest until I see a specialist next Wednesday in Indianapolis. (That goodness the specialist happens to be in the Clarian Network!) The only exception is talking to my children a few times per day. This will be good for my kids and will also prevent atrophy in the vocal cord ligaments. I am thankful for the proof that we are moving in the right direction. I really appreciate your prayers. I will update you again next Wednesday after seeing the specialist.
