HI. My name is Lin. I am a medical foster parent in KC MO. We are
currently fostering a 2 year old with Leighs disease. Leighs is a
genetic degenerate nerological disease. She has a trachae, vent, cough
assit, feeding tube, pace maker, and catheder. i am still training and
hope to bring her home in 2 weeks. All advice is welcomed. She does
not speak. Is it normal for a person with a trache and vent to not be
able to speak. i had a 4 year old with a trachae and he spoke. you
could not really understand it but he spoke. He had a speach therapist
