11. Our story with laryngeal cleft, dysphagia, and thickened liquids

Listen Later

My daughter has a laryngeal cleft (deep intraaryteniod notch) that required her to have two surgeries, be on honey thickened liquids for over a year, and attend feeding therapy.  Here is our story!

  • How an oversupply, overactive letdown, tongue tie, and lip tie complicated things
  • When we knew something was wrong
  • The surgery and swallow study that led to her diagnoses
  • Her failed post-op swallow studies
  • Navigating thickened liquids at daycare and in everyday life
  • How we chose our treatment plan
  • The wean off of thickeners
  • How she is doing today
