Guest guest Posted June 17, 1999 Report Share Posted June 17, 1999 Marie, Adamdid have an ABI install quite a while ago. It just didn't function right with him so he never really used it.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 1999 Report Share Posted June 17, 1999 But Adam did not have the ABI did he?? And I was not aware that he had a stroke, only that he had swallowing problems; Rick, his Mom could tell you how they overcame that, a doc did a specific operation that permitted him to swallow again, i think.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 1999 Report Share Posted June 17, 1999 surgery was a disaster, 49 days in the hosp. then 11 more here and I may go into intensive rehab next week. I do not swallow anything and the abi didn't work at all. You are protocal to him not a person. The abi CAN work but there is a big risk. Adam is dead now, he had the swallowing problems and a stroke as well as I did. Investigating is importnat and I did it greatly. In any event there is a real risk, risk to benefit ratio now tells me its not worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 1999 Report Share Posted June 17, 1999 Adam did have the abi, I have talked to his father and was very helpful. Yes he has a stroke too and far more debilatating problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Do you know if his swallowing difficulties resulted from the ABI operation?
