The ventilator tube can cause some nerve damage but if it continues past the next few weeks, speech therapy can help work through it. Not to mention that having people messing around in your chest cavity will make that area subject to a tiny bit of fatigue. All in all, everything sounds like it's going very well, from the reports given here. Now, if he's anything like my husband, he can look forward to a few months of entertaining the cute young therapists in cardiac rehab! GO ARTY!!!!!
