Hopeful, I'm tagging @starlight @sirkalab on this discussion. They wrote about osteophytes a while back and may have some experiences to share with you. More recently @dand @jimjudym4 @jennybell have talked about paralyzed vocal cords and I hope they'll chime in.

My daughter had one vocal cord cut out. She can still talk but can't control the volume of her voice. Her airway is tiny since they took out her trach. They have to use a size 5 ET tube on her. She just made the decision to have part of her other vocal cord cut out to give make it easier to breath.<br />

I'm so sorry to hear of your daughter's problems.  Do doctors know the cause of the problem?  I hope that the surgery is helpful to her and decreases the breathing problems.
