Re: voice /singers/ little OT

Hi , I can relate to how scary this must be for a

singer but hopefully I can ease your mind a little. My

daughter was also intubated once (asthma) for 10 days and

when she was finally extubated, she was extremely hoarse and

had absolutely no singing range whatsoever and was quite

worried about it. As I recall, she had a sultry husky voice

for a few weeks, but within about a month, she was back on

stage with her band. I would guess that she was exercising

her voice a little every day which might have helped. I

think it's safe to say that you'll get your range and volume

back. Keep chirping.

Jean.

I am sorry I am pre-op and don't have an answer but I wanted to add

onto this question as well...I am a singer also and was wondering if

having surgery open affected anyone else who might have sang

beforer...like with breath control etc....I am really worried about

this...please anyone who has answers to this one email me as well...

Thanks!
