Guest guest Posted June 12, 2000 Report Share Posted June 12, 2000 Hi , Thanks for the info-- it makes me feel better. This was a difficult decision to make for a 16-yr-old, but I feel it is the best for my daughter.

Regards, Debbie in IL < It took 3 days before my mom had a leak. She may have had it earlier, but she had a tube in her nose down her throat, and that might have helped disguise it. It was the day after the tube came out she was rushed back into surgery for the leak. My mom was lucky. She was on life support for three weeks before she was strong enough to breathe on her own.
