Is Barb's voice still more audible as noted in the first post after her procedure. I remember her husband conveying that she could only whisper before the procedure. (Hope I got that right).

Is Barb still confined to bed? Or is she in a wheelchair now?

Here is a woman who was on a bed in a hospital, unable to speak, with a feeding tube and a Do Not Rescusitate order. Now she is speaking, doing physio, no feeding tube, and hopeful again!
edited to add: Pcakes, yes, this had me smilin' again too!

Didn't I read that a news crew was documenting her struggle and her trip to the U.S. for treatment?
