EPIGLOTTIS REPAIR

MY SON BROKE HIS NECK ON AUG 30 , 2009    C5 AND C6 WERE FRACTURED   C-7 WAS SHATTERED. HE IS AN INCOMPLETE QUAD. , 27 YEARS OLD NOW. HAS USE OF ARMS , NOT FINGERS. AFTER 2 NECK SURGERIES , HE HAD A BRAIN STEM STROKE . HE IS OFF OF THE VENT., BUT STILL HAS TO BE SUCTIONED , BECAUSE ALTHOUGH THE THROAT MUSCLES ARE NOW WORKING , THE EPIGLOTTIS IS STICKING STRAIGHT UP AND WILL NOT FLAP DOWN TO COVER THE WINDPIPE. SO HE CAN HAVE NOTHING BY MOUTH. HE HAS A TRACH. WITH A CUFF , SO WE CAN SUCTION ABOVE AND BELOW THE CUFF. HE HAS A SPEACH PATHOLOGIST THAT HAS WORKED WITH HIM FOR 17 MONTHS NOW. THE EPIGLOTTIS WILL NOT MOVE TO COVER THE WINDPIPE.  IS THERE " ANYTHING AT ALL" THAT CAN BE DONE , OR TRIED TO HELP HIM ? WE SO BADLY WANT TO SEE THE PEG TUBE AND TRACH. OUT , SO HE CAN EAT AND DRINK AGAIN. THIS WOULD GREATLY IMPROVE HIS QUALITY OF LIFE. HE IS A WONDERFUL SON AND IS IN GOOD SPIRITS MOST OF THE TIME. WE ARE WAITING ON HELP FROM A HIGHER POWER, IS THERE ANYONE TO HELP  ??????  DEEDY BARNARD      ALBANY ,GA.
