After a much anticipated follow up visit at the Vanderbilt Voice Clinic I have been released from vocal (silence) rest. There is still some concern as the nodule on the vocal cord is still visible, however there was improvement. The next steps toward recovery include: speech therapy, singing therapy and adjustment of some of my daily and Sunday routines. There have been many of you who have voiced your concerns and put me on your prayer list, while I walked through these days of silence…thank you and a special thank you for the prayers. Don’t remove me from those prayer lists just yet…
