Meg's Mom

[Angela]

My name is Angela, mother to Meghan (15) who was trached 10/22/07 due chronic aspiration because of a non-functioning epiglottis that lays in her trachea and her upper airway was becoming blocked with multiple cysts and lympathic tissue.
Meghan was born on 9/15/92 with severe Wiliams Syndrome, epilepsy, asthma, tachycardia, pulmonary stenosis and moderate MR. She has been NPO since 2/07 due to the aspiration and tube feeds by pump 15 hours a day through her intestines due to slow motility of her stomach.
I found this web site while doing research on tracheotomy's. Looking forward to talking with mom's who understand.
