using false vocal cords to talk

[Guest guest]

Last yr at this time my son had renal and respiratory failure. During

that time a tracio-esophageal fistula was discovered and repaired.

Since that time 's(12yrs) voice has been whispery, quiet and

breathy. Sara R of Talk Tools mentioned that possibly he could

be using his false vocal cords to speak which is much harder to do.

Any one heard of this? Can it be remedied? How?

Thanks

Janet
