There's links down below.  Please take time to visit the pharyngeal flap links and read them. Shania has had 1 chronic problem since she had the pharyngeal flap surgery and I know for a fact it was because of the surgery. I urge any parent that the craniofacial team has recommended the pharyngeal flap for speech to get 2 opinions from speech therapists. Shania has the top speech pathologist in our state and my mistake was not going for a 2nd opinion and doing some research.  If you would like more information on what problems she has experienced please email me at: alyshnya@hotmail.com

hey.. who you lookin at?

shania and star..all smiles!
