We just got back from Albany where Kendall had his post-op check up.

His surgeon was very pleased with the voice that he heard and the examination showed that the filler has remained in place and is doing the job of almost filling the gap left by the original surgery. Kendall's false vocal cords are coming into play again and he has to do the voice exercises to try and train them not to react but, overall, Dr Shapshay was very pleased with the results.

He says that it will be a few months until we see (and hear) the final results of this procedure and we will be going to see him in October, on the way back from the Getaway.

Kendall will never again have that wonderful voice that I have only heard on recordings - the cord is scarred and stiff and will never vibrate as it should again - but he is getting more of a voice back and should have no problem with storytelling and, with practice, singing songs that would suit the different voice that he will have.
At least he has a voice and that is a real blessing.
